    Pressure guage

    Pressure gauge still reads 12 pounds pressure which is the start pressure even when the pump is off. Now when I turn on the pump for my normal morning circulation for the pool the pressure reading on the gauge increases another 15 pounds to a new reading of 24 psi. There was a couple days of...

    Cleaning pool toys of possible algae contamination

    Not use what model. Looked for a screw at the top or anywhere and found none. They appear to twist off grip like a top of a mayo jar, but tried a little to see if they came off easy with no luck. They do appear water tight. They are color changer lights

    Cleaning pool toys of possible algae contamination

    Still a bit worried about possible algae behind my hockey puck sized pool lights. Again I read about this issue over the weekend. Hope this will be handled by slam and proper pool chemical balance in future. Because I will not mess with those likes due to electricity even though I just need to...

    Cleaning pool toys of possible algae contamination

    Is it a good idea to sink toys, vacuum and hoses along with any pool equipment into a slammed pool that is now clear and FC still at slam level in order to kill any possible algae on them so they can be sanitized so after pool is cleared of algae the accessorit’s will not reintroduce possible...

    Forgot a step

    Ordered the TF 100 Pro and finished vacuuming a corner I had to wait and fill water to top of pool. Observing the bottom the floc residue was not green but yellow brown. A good sign of dead algae. took sample of water to Leslie’s and CYA was 6.1 down from 9, FC was 4.65 with a little CC, all...

    CYA is at 90 so I may need to address that too

    I need to buy a better test kit 1st. I just have a FC that maxs out at 2.5 and a very basic ph and TC along with a few other tests. But yes I thing when vacuuming to waste I could see clumps along the edge of pool but algae clouds I believe hanging on the bottom. So it will take getting...

    I backwashed the floc to waste and pool looks clear. Now then, no use I guess to Slam right now just because I am itching to get the multivalve of the top of the filter to check out the sand and if the floc I accidentally filtered thru it an hour affected it. The sand was changed in April...

    Forgot a step

    Instructions on the floc stated to put filter from filter to circulate for 2 hours,and bypass the filter. Then shut it off and wait 12 hours +. I had read online somewhere that it was bad for the sand to run the floc thru the filter. The sand could clump. Or maybe that was just the vacuumed floc...
