Hydraulic cover help?

[PoolDoc]

Unfortunately, we can't be as helpful with very specific equipment questions, as we can with chemistry, which is basically the same for all chlorinated residential pools. Sometimes people get lucky, and there's someone on the forum who has encountered a particular problem before. But, that's not common.

Sorry.

We had a local Aquamatic rep overhaul the hydraulic pump system. The pump solenoid piston seems to have jammed due to deterioration of 10 year old hydraulic fluid. Lesson learned - change hydraulic fluid every few years!

Thanks for coming back with an update. That may help somebody else in the future who may be having the same type problem.
