Thanks Carl! One thing that did happen after I posted the original thread is that one of the hoses sprung a major leak . I went to the pool supply to purchase a new hose and told the pool store guy about it. He said that could have been what caused the farting bubbles. However, I did buy a new gasket just in case. When I got home and tried to put the replacement hose on, the clamp screws had rusted and are not wanting to come off so I'm not sure what I'll do next. The screws are rusted real, real good. If you, or anyone else, has any ideas about how to get them off without doing damage to the pool please let me know! It's always something around here!
