Changed the sand two years ago and I'm running at 15psi which is correct. I checked out the lines and are fine, I did notice for the first time today that it appears the motor is surgen, there is no air bubbles coming out of the jet. I'm stumped, only thing I can do is start at the skimmer and start replacing parts.

I think it was Avid that post a pool issue recently, if not forgive me but, I have been fighting my pump all week. Now the history Monday old pump locks up, just humms not turning and its 3 yrs old. Tuesday bought new motor its an A.O. Smith 1.5 horse, put it on and it makes a clinking racket from the motor. Gets hot shuts off Wednesday take it to the pros : they put in a new gasket between the housing that holds the trap, take it home and put it on and once again clinking from the motor 10minutes later gets hot and shuts off. > Thursday-the pros still don't know why its doing it-they put the last new motor on. > Friday today pick up new motor go home,put it on and clinking sound again and motor gets hot and shuts off. > > This is what I know, you can't restrict water flow on a pump, flow can be restricted by air seeping(being sucked in) You can have to much water coming in for the pump to handle maybe? :-? I wonder if my skimmer door needs replaced, its lost the foam siding and doesn't stand up right anymore, just lays back inside the skimmer, could this be my problem :-? causing to much water coming thru :-? Also when you dry cycle motor it purrs like a kitten, put it on the pool and noisy sucker. I've notice when the pump runs its got alot of pressure behind it. I've backed washed, checked any clogged lines or restrictions. I'm gonna inspect the skimmer for cracks and the hose that goes to the sand trap. Any ideas fellers :-? I'm going back to the pros tomorrow, need problem fixed and not getting anywhere fast.

For a couple of Oscars you 'll need a 150 gal tank, not only they get quite large, they need a lot of space. Been having aquariums since I was 5 until I was 35 ( even had an aquarium store for 10 years ). Don 't purchase "veil tail" oscars, the veil is not that much of a veil at all, only the tail and fins are a little more elongated. Albino Oscars are pretty cool, specially tigers. Thanks Raul, yea I like the Albino Oscars too, man a 150gl tank-that would look cool. I'd be concerned for the wieght on my floor joists but, man I could picture that tank, cool stuff ;D

Well I for one was laughing while the issue was unfolding, I beleive the FOOLS would get what was due for messen(playing) around with a beast like that. If you play with fire you will get burned so don't come crying to me about it. It does amaze me how others will get so bent out of shape on a so called "senseless animal kill"" they behave like thats the only horrific monster human being out there. compassion is a good thing and when directed properly can be a miracle worker, now Like I said it amazes me sometimes But, I don't hear that much hard ache when they find a sicko with kiddy porn > Man they busted a hellashes sting in Russia 3 or 4 months ago and the cops said it was the worst they've seen-they actually heard these kids screaming on the videos that was taped when they was being raped, now why couldn't that recieve more compassion than 4 idiots shooting a predator in a park and just as well would've got burned and well deserve it I might add but, to each his own right :-? well fellers, I feel better now, must of been the heat today I need to drink more gatoraid ;D

I Have a 20gl aquarium the last few years and time to time I think of going bigger, and getting an Oscar or two, I think they look cool and act cool-I've seen one turn over a fixture in its tank 8-) but, my platies i have are just cool little fish, the males are always fighting over territories and the females give birth to live fish, they are tough and a foregiving fish to raise also. Just don't know if I should try Oscars, Anyone have experience with Oscars :-?

Yep your correct, I went and checked up on the fella that went down, still in the hospital, he hardly had any Electrolytes readings-they pumped him a hole IV pack of Electrolytes-and his wife rubbed on the back of his legs trying to work out the cramps for 45 minutes after the IV pack Doc told him to stay with the gatoraid while he works, maybe water with lunch His heart checked out fine, just simply overheated.

Thank you for your sacrifice. I think we all take things for granted sometimes. The reason that we can enjoy this great country is because of brave men and women like yourself. Keep your head up high and trust in the Lord. Amen-hats off to ya Aint Texan Bless you man

You wanna new boat but, are looking for used boats :-? are you like me :-? a good used one is a new one for me 8-)

Had a fella go to the hospital today he's fine now, Doc seems to think he was big time dehidrated. (the plant was 107 inside by 2:00pm) He had Shortness of breath,dizzy,cramps and was cold to the touch when I checked his pulse. I was told oh boy drank 5 diet pepsi's by 10:00 am. - We set gatoraid out by the gallons. I guess he thought his pepsis' were working Keep cool guys best you can, don't forget the proper liquids

no way :-?

Wow!

Back in "98" I took classes for TQM style management, there was one course called Human Resource Management Specialization that trained you to identify hostile employees. all that money for that course and it was easily summed up. Identify the same trouble maker, its the same face that never changes in a group argument, you identify the newbies and identify the one thats always there. when I summed that up, the teacher quit allowing me bathroom breaks Simple-whos the one who keeps startin crap >

It goes quick don't it >

Blow Horn works evey time ;D
