Weak Pool Circulation in Granite Hills, CA
Weak return jets and poor turnover point to a clog, a dirty filter, an air leak, or a tiring pump rather than chemistry. In Granite Hills, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Granite Hills runs on Helix Water District at 16-20 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means decades-old plaster and extreme mineral scale pushing equipment past its expected life, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Granite Hills and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
