    Because my pump is on a timer set to come on late at night I nearly always add liquid chlorine while the pump is off. I broadcast it across the water surface using a pitcher and then push the WallWhale across the bottom a few times. A leaf net dragged through the water would have a similar effect.

    Sorry to hear about your sick pump!

    Not too bad of a problem, of course no one has the part in stock, seems I have an odd pump.
    Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be back in business.

    Thanks for the info everyone, it was what I was expecting to hear, just nice to know I have back up when needed.

    Ended up ordering a new pump.

    Mine was 8 years old and the motor didn't want to run the other day until I oiled the bearings and the part would have to be shipped from Canada, so might be better off in the end.
