Chris,

I can't locate any drain plug on my pump. This is a Pentair 2-speed. The pot sits in front of it and there's a puck chlorinator plumbed in but I have that turned off.

There aren't any leaks that I can see on any of the PVC pipes or the hoses other than that slow drip from the light. I think that's supposed to also function as a return but the valve on that pipe has always been turned off.

My husband is only home on weekends. It's my job to maintain the pool and I'm doing great with the water chemistry, but this mechanical stuff escapes me.
