You've talked me into it. I am somewhat mechanical, so I'll give it a try.

>> The other thing I have noticed is that when the water is very cold, i.e. under 60 degrees she does not want to move to well and I think it is because the hoses are not flexible when cold. Once the pool heated up above 72 degrees she is moving like a charm.

I agree, but cold/cool water is not my problem now. Living in South Louisiana, my pool water is 85 F today. The past two days, we have reach 92 F air temps. Boy, it's going to be a hot dry summer, and a nasty hurricane season.
