Through these boards i have been able to learn to keep my pool crystal clear day in and day out.

but seems like everytime something goes right something else goes wrong.

I got a new sandfilter this year replacing my DE filter. I know some people think DE is better and maybe they are but i don't have to the time to pump and crap.

So last year when i would vacuum my pool i'd eventually lose section after i started vacuuming, i realized i had an whole in my hose.

this year i started fresh, new liner filter, hose for my vacuum and new vacuum.

Now whenever i hook up the vacuum i lose suction immediately. I don't think its sucking air seeing that i've tried a hundred times to keep the air out and the same process worked for me last year.

I'm very annoyed and am having a party saturday and would like to clean my pool. anyone know what might be the problem?

thanks in advance,
Jim
Has this new combo worked at all? Is the skimmer door getting stuck in the closed position? Check the hose for a clog. That's a wierd problem. Also check the seal on the pump strainer.
