I have a in ground pool that leaks only when the pump is running (1\4 an hour) and there are no leaks around the pump.

Well it is still leaking but I am not giving up. I am going to double the amount, which should be correct and try it again.

This should fix a small leak worked good on mine until I got a bigger leak then it would not hold

Visably check the threads. Also the galvinized plug in the top is usualy not tight, could the leak be from there?This is by far the best pump I have ever worked with but the threads may be visably defecctive.

Keep leaves and debree away from the pump !!! I put my pump in a 5 Gal. bucket with about 200 1/8 inch holes drilled around the bottom and pipe the discharge out the top and off the pool cover.

I actually had this happen. Must be sure that the cover has no holes and only the more expensive covers last more than a few years in my experience, regardless of the warranty, and the covers become very porous. It should not take more than a few hours to pump any reasonable amount of water on the cover and if you think the pool is being drained you are probably right. Look carefully at the water level when you first put on the cover. I drain the pool to a specific height so have some measure. Another note of interest is that unplugging the pump will not help either if you have a lousy cover. Once the water starts flowing through the hose it acts like an artisan well to drain the pool by gravity. I actually had this happen.

The pump should run at the timer settings. I would think if it runs as you state, either the timer or pump is bad. I suggest new pump.

hmmm, interesting, I have mine set to the larger pool size and it runs for almost 3 hrs, I never had that problem Bobbi, is there FAQ's for troubleshooting?.........call customer service, good luck!

Also, I don't think it has been mentioned, but give this thing a couple HOURS to clean the whole pool. If you are just watching it work for 10 minutes... it might not consistently get from one end of the pool to the other. It works in a sort of pseudorandom way. Aside from what's already been posted, you may have a broken unit.

Im wondering if this worked for you? I have the same pool which is about 10,000 gallons- higher than the 7,000 it states. I read that you just need to look at how much the pump cycles per hour- was this one big enough for you? How's it working?

I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping. All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool

I have you used my air compressor and am very careful not to overinflate the pool. The air compressor fills the pool in just a few minutes.

humm....in my installation NOT much because discharge is above floating line, but only drain back to the pump, the remaining water in the hose (about half quarter o so)....but if where the below floating line you may consider to install a check valve.....hope answer your question.

I have never had that problem. How is your salt level? I find that for my pool size I have to run it an hour longer than suggested each day during the hot summer months here in Texas. I also use the brush very thoroughly while the pump is running at least once a week to make sure I don't get any algae growing on the walls or bottom of the pool.

If the skimmer lowers below the water level it will just be sucking air and could burn out tour filter pump. Push down on the foating system and see how far down it goes and you should be able to judge from that. As summer progresses the leak you have and the evaporation you may have to increase your time on adding water

I have 2 thoughts. 1) I just run my chlorine pump when my deep well pump runs and I don't see any problems. 2) The relay action you need is time delay on release (drop-out).

No....we have been having lots of problems with ours....runs about 30 minutes then we have to backwash the pump to make it go again....not a good buy...we even spent the money to upgrade our pump, thinking it might be the problem...but it didn't change a thing...might want to think about another pool cleaner...I am not happy with this one at all.

sounds a little as if the suction pump isn't running or even blocked, amazingly I have stones in my pool, birds drop them in. I should also add that if you've got heavy duty cleaning to do then the bags fill up pretty quickly, likewise algae just goes straight through as the mesh isn't fine enough.1. Check pump is running.2. Check inlet isn't blocked.3. Heavy duty or algae give manual vacuum.
