The filter on our new pool went south two days ago. It will be covered under warranty, but they do not have anything similar or better in house, locally. We will have to wait for a replacement to be shipped from the factory, WHICH HAS ALL ORDERS ON BACKORDER, FFS!! Apparently, they have manufactured a huge number of these defective pumps and many of them are failing, nationwide.
I opened up the old one which had also quit (I kept it because I had hoped to be able to fix it and use it to vacuum the bottom of the pool, rather than throw it away - little did I know that I would NEED it as a main pump this week) and found a loose shaft on the impeller, which I could repair, myself.
That was Saturday. Today, I am preparing to get very wet in our clean pool.
