My pool is not a typical 21' above ground pool. I dug the pool halfway in the ground and then dug an additional 2 ' on one end to make it 6' deep. My pump is currently just below the skimmer approximately 10-12 feet away with approximately 16 linear feet of schedule 40 pipe. What would happen...

Yes, I watched a few videos on this forum that showed how to do it. I stuck the hose up and down through out the entire filter until water was clear when overflowing. I had the same high filter pressure last year but didn't really notice to much because I didn't have a heater. With the heater...

FC this morning was at 9 lost 2 ppm overnight, filter PSI was 15 and a noticeable difference in flow at return. Seems I still have some type of containment's. Brought FC back up to 12 will check again early afternoon. Why such a noticeable difference in flow at 1-1.5 PSI? At this current...

Just checked the final FC for the night... I did allow some swimmers in pool while being slammed. FC was 11 pump PSI 13.8...will check again in the morning. Going to leave pump running through the night

I have a lot of play sand currently around the pool from excavation. A lot of this sand gets in the pool from feet which are washed but some still get in. The junk which was really play sand and fine debris particles clumped together. There was nothing larger that could have passed through the...

I was very surprised to see that much junk sitting on top of the sand. Glad that I did it!! I will definitely be including that in my opening/closing procedure. Ran a complete test, the numbers are a little different from last night is that caused by me deep cleaning the filter? FC: 15...

Thanks again for the reply... There was a lot of junk... 2 grocery bags full on top of the sand. I flushed it out per videos here on this forum. Maybe helped .5 PSI running 13 PSI.. Going to start the slamming procedure right now... Thanks for all the advice! Will let everyone know the results...

Thanks for the reply here is a picture taken right now of the pool water and the filter PSI is currently at 13.5 PSI I will perform a deep cleaning and report back the results.

I have replaced the gauge with one that is filled with glycerin and the results are the same and flow is restricted at the same PSI which is 1-1.5 PSI. With 2 different gauges and the same reading its safe to assume that there no problem with my gauges. Here is my most recent levels yesterday...

Maybe slightly when the FC gets to around 1 PPM. When bringing FC back up to 5 ppm in all honesty it looks pretty clear. The slight cloudiness I do have I assumed it was caused by high bather load at lower FC levels. (Still dialing in CYA) - - - Updated - - - I do have to vacuum up a lot of...

Hello, First, I want to thank this forum for the excellent advice and knowledge it has to offer. My pool water is crystal clear and very well balanced by following the procedures on this forum. However, I am currently having to back flush way to often. After back flushing my sand filter will...

Yes, that is correct about 2.5 ppm loss overnight. Lots of fluctuation with theses readings would you agree? I clicked your link below in regards to SLAM I have read through it before but will again and follow the procedure. Thanks again for your help

6:40am (10): FC: 13.5 ppm CC: 0

Ok have some updates: Yippee, I backwashed first, then I applied the the stabilizer loose along the ledges of the skimmer walls. I followed the manufactures directions of use however, after reading through some threads it seems I would have been better off placing the stabilizer in a...
