If there are bubbles returning to the pool. A suction problem may actually be at the pump. Check lid for tightness. Check o-ring at lid to make sure it has not gotten too large, cracked -- use petroleum gelly or a Teflon lube. Check fittings in and out of the pump for tightness -- this can sometimes be difficult. Check the pump basket and empty it of debris.

I recommend staying away from using petroleum based products such as Vaseline they are known to break down O-Rings and certain types of pump housings leading to leaks.

Check with a supplier/distributor like Canadian Bearings,CTC , pool Contractors ask first.

I use a O-Ring grease product made by Dow Corning known as Molykote 55 it will slightly swell rubber for a better seal another product by Dow corning is called O-Ring lube 111 a lube sealant, costs approx $3 for 6grams.

Footprints on bottom of inground pool liner?

I had an inground pool installed. We just turned on the lights at night and noticed footprints on the bottom. Can this be fixed? Call the pool company back. The bottom is normally sand mixed with cement. The liner will probably have to be removed and bottom smoothed. They should have checked that before installing the liner. Those printswi catch sediment and debris for the life of the liner.
