Hey guys. I am thinking about upgrading my filter. I was just wondering what your thoughts are about DE filters?are they worth it? Currently I have a sand filter and it does a pretty good job my only complaint is there is every time I vacuum, there is always a little dirt that seems to make it...

Hey guys. I have a bit of an odd situation going on... My pool is perfectly balanced and the water is absolutely sparkling clear. I was out vacuuming this evening and when finished, I let it sit for about a half hour while I did a few other chores. When I returned , to put the solar cover on...

Thanks for the info. So if I went with a 1HP 2 speed power flow matrix pump I would be much better off than I am now in terms of pump performance? I knew it was a cheap pump when I bought it. It was part of the basic package when I bought the pool. Didn't have the money to upgrade at the time. I...

Hello all Spring has arrived and it won't be long till its time to open up then pool for the season. I want to replace my pump with a 2 speed pump to save on electric. I have a 150 lb sand filter with a Hayward powerflow lx 1.5 HP pump. My question is do I really need 1.5 HP or can I downsize...

Hello everyone. Pool is up and running and working well thanks to the advise of this site. I am thinking about upgrading to a 2 speed pump. Thinking about the Hayward power flow matrix 1 hp 2 speed. I have been told that my pump s way oversized for my filter. Would that pump be a better match...

Ok TFP gurus...I have a question about my pump and filter size. I have a hayward 19 inch 150 lb sand filter with a 1.5 HP single speed pump. It looks to me like the filter is rated at 45 GPM and the pump appears to be rated at 73 GPM. I think the hoses are inch and a half not 100% sure. So I am...

Yes it just puffs up when you touch it. Can't really feel it to get an idea of what it feels like. Might try vacuuming to waste to get rid of it. I also have a bag of DE in the shed that I acquired from my in laws. I can try adding a little.

Ok guys need a little help again. I have this mystery fine dirt that keeps accumulating on the bottom of the pool. Just ran a complete test here at my numbers Ta 110 Ph 7.6 FC 6.5 (before adding the daily dose) CC 0.0 CYA. About 55 raised from 45 in the past week. I had a similar problem with...

Well started the process. Had it up to 29.5 ppm last night at about 9pm. 6:15 am I was down to 24ppm. Clearly there is still something living in there. turns out my shot at killing mustard algae is really the first round of the slam process. Off to the store to stock up on some bleach...

The dirt seems to be mostly on the bottom and it started accumulating in the shady areas. But since the cover has been on for 2 days the **** is pretty much all over. Not sure if the walls are slimy I did not see anything on the walls when I looked at it this evening.
