What was strange about that pic is the debris is mostly in the upper third of the filter. Cleaned it again today and it was...

    Hello friends, I am comming home to a dirty pool most days, just finer debris sitting at the bottom of the pool. I thought I may be the robotic pool cleaner blowing dirt out the top. But I have been running the cleaner in the evening for its 3 hr cycle and waking up to a fairly clean pool. When...

    Help diagnosing issue

    Yeah obvious things like enough water in the pool were checked prior. When I originally had the issue water level was fine just air in the return. Over the next serval days water level lowered however it wasn't clear if it was evaporation related, relatively warm water compared to a overnight...

    Help diagnosing issue

    Ok I cannot locate the issue, over the last few days the water level dropped below the skimmer line, went out this morning and lifted the skimmer basket to find there to be almost no water in the skimmer. The pump has been off the entire time, this would indicate that there may be a leak in the...

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, I lit an incense, one of those sticks that lets out a smokey aroma, the smoke is was being pulled towards the back of the pump behind the basket. See the slots left of the pump? The suction was strong enough to hold a leaf against the slot. Would that...
