Hi,
I've had a rough time getting my pool going this year. Weeks of work and I *finally* have water up to the skimmer, only to discover the sand filter has a big crack in it. Even Recirculate/Bypass to Pool makes for a lot of water spraying.
I've ordered a new filter and multiport valve. But it will arrive on Thursday. Stagnant water in 95ish weather sucks.
How can I securely get the pool to circulate directly through the pump? I stuck the return hose into the pump but it's the tubing end into hard plastic. There's nothing to secure it so it leaks a lot and it looks like it will burst off the moment I walk away. Looked like awesome movement returning into the pool though.
Right now, I have a dinky cover pump in pool "draining" it from one side to the other. I'd say it circulates 1/4 of volume of the pool per day. Better than nothing. But not by much.
