Wayne, I'm right here in the Luling area and have been using the BBB method for three years now and after you get a year under your belt it'll be a lot easier, and cheaper. I have a 24' above ground as well and this is what I do to mine. Very easy. Beginning of each summer I test CYA and FC...

yah my auto vac picked up a good bit of debris and after two cleanings it seems to be good to go now. Still haven't ordered the new filter bc this one seems to be doing good right now.

Put my diver Dave vacuum in and it picked up a lot of small debris from the bottom of the pool that I didn't even notice was in their. Pool is crystal clear and it picked up some stuff so for the first time the filter actually looked dirty two days in a row. I also used the small brass fitting...

Yes I have. I even soaked it in TSP and again with acid. Neither seemed to make a difference. The pool looks completely spotless though lol even at night with the light on I don't see any floating particles. I passed the over night test and have 0 CC, water sparkles like crazy with sunlight. I'm...

Sorry I meant I'm losing flow from the increase in pressure on the filter gauge. After cleaning filter my gauge is at 12psi, after about 30 mins I'm up to 16-18psi. First 2 - 2.5 years I had the filter it would run 2-4psi and water flow out of the return was extremely strong. Now the water flow...

Tried just using my top skimmer it seemed to help a little but still losing flow. Prolly just time for a new filter. If I had to guess this is prolly why my Hayward diver would just coil up last summer. Guessing the pump was still sucking like normal and with the filter clogging it up it...

Makes me think, tommorrow after I clean the filter I'll turn off my bottom drain and use my top skimmer to see if that's the problem

Do you mean like a auto vac? Yah I have the Hayward diver dive but it's not in at the moment. - - - Updated - - - Yah I'm going to wait to replace it until I clear the over night test. I've had great results with the bleach method for three years now, always kept the FC in range until the the...

Yah I say filter but mean cartridge. Thanks

Pool is getting better each day, no more slime in the filter. Can see the whole bottom of the floor of the pool but slightly cloudy so I'm still slamming it. Even without the slime it still losing flow after about a half hour after cleaning. Like I said brand new it ran at 3-4 psi and now...

Will do thanks a lot. Still in the slamming process water is getting clearer and I'll just keep the filter clean and see what happens thanks.

Yah after soaking it in TSP for hours then rinsing really good then I soaked it in acid for about 30-40 mins did not see any foaming at all. I put it back in the pool and it only took a few mins. Before flow slowed again. I did something your not suppose to after that and hit it with the...
