Hi,
We got our 1st pool about 2 years ago. I had someone maintain it for the first year and we have been trying to maintain it since then. It has been a struggle. With no real knowledge of pools, our builder installed a pool of about 30,000 gallons yet installed a suction vacuum that I am told would be great for a 10,000 gallon pool in Arizona - not one that can handle the leaves and debris we regularly receive.
Working on a solution to correct the vacuum problem and now my pump is acting up. Just posted question on the "pump" forum. I feel like I "bit off more than I can chew" with this pool!
