Finding pin holes in a closed loop system

[my2rotties]

The first pump was not nearly strong enough to run the system. The LFS guy took a chance in selling the substandard pump for our needs, but he did the same for our skimmer as well. He ordered the new pump and we paid extra for it. When I brought the two week old skimmer back, I lost $100 on it and only got store credit.

24storm has been to my house a couple of times and he said everything was awesome. I do think it is bad luck to be honest.
