Thank you for the swift response.

I think I will have to make a phone call tomorrow and get someone to come and have a look for me. I moved into this house end of last year it had been empty for 3 years and the pool was a swamp. Had someone come out to check pool equipment before I turned equipment on and they said all seemed fine, everything seemed to be working. Had pool drained and acid washed as there was all sorts of dead critters and debris in the pool, it actually looked fantastic once it had been cleaned.

I do take care of the pool myself as I have learned so much from this forum. Unfortunately I won't be able to check the impeller so will have to call for help.

Thanks again for your help - very much appreciated :-)
