The return line flow of our above ground pool is extremely strong. We can barely stand up if we are next to the return flow outlet. It was normal before we had our liner replaced and everything had to be removed. We have the aqua-illuminator combination light/return attachment. Is there any way to reduce the flow back to a normal level?

If the pump is the same and the return attachment has not changed your flow should be the same as before. Did you have a pro do the work, if so call them back. Is the filteration as good as it ever was or has it been not filtering as well as before? You may have blown out a filter screen, that would increase your flow.

The filtration is the same as before. The only difference is the return flow. It was done by the pool company, so I will call them and have them look at it. Thanks!!

Before you call them out double check to see you have it set on filter and no by-pass.
