Yes, earlier in this thread someone suggested skimmer socks. Luckily the guy at the store steared me away from that.

Here are my model numbers:
Pump: Pentair model SF-N1-1-1/2A/340039
Filter: Pentair Tagelus, Part #145241

Please let me know if they are mismatched.

This equipment was all installed this year by a pool company. I'm probably under warranty if it is malfunctioning or was installed incorrectly.
