    Sand filter blowing stuff back into pool

    Good deal! Gonna go do it now. Thanks for your reply. Just for my knowledge, what kind of problems would indicate that the spider gasket needs to be changed?

    Sand filter blowing stuff back into pool

    So I have a sand dollar sd60 sand filter that has started giving me a problem. I will use the vac to clean the pool and the next morning silt / the stuff I just vacuumed out is back in it. Not all of it but a lot of it. The filter is 11 years old and the sand was replaced 7 years ago when we...

    Another chlorine question

    So my FC dropped from 16 to 15 over night. I added more to bring it to about 16 this morning at 6am. My neighbor added 128 oz at noon. At 4:30 it tested at 8.5 so I added more to bring it to 16. That seems like a lot of loss in a day given my neighbor added some and I only lost around 1 last...

    Another chlorine question

    So I checked the fc this morning and it had only dropped to about 15 from 16 last night. I guess the last couple days of me shocking started the slam without me even knowing I needed too. Should I still get my neighbor to come over and give it a dose of bleach while I am at work? Maybe instead...

    Best AG pool cleaner

    Ok, just looked and it wasn’t the turtle. It was an aquabot pool rover. Have you used it? Just curious as to how they compare.

    Best AG pool cleaner

    I had a robotic about 9 years ago and it didn’t work to well. I think it was called a turbo turtle! I will do my research on the dolphin though.

    Best AG pool cleaner

    I am fixing to be in the market for a new pool cleaner and was curious as to what y’all use. I have been using Wanda the whale for several years and she has done ok. I was just wondering if there was something better. Thanks in advance.

    Another chlorine question

    Thanks for the fast reply. Ok, I just raised it to a shock level of 16. I will get up in the morning and check it to add bleach to get back to 16 before I go to work. Would it be ok if i get my neighbor to come over at noon to add a jug of bleach which is 128 ounces? That would get it back up...

    Another chlorine question

    So my motor on my pump went out about two weeks ago and it took a week for a new one to arrive. While waiting I tried to keep the water clear by adding bleach daily but in the end, it turned a little cloudy. After installing the new motor, I can’t keep chlorine in it. It’s super clear but still...

    New salt system reading 2800 when no salt has been added

    I have just installed a Hayward aquatrol on my 24' AG and when I turned it on to my sunrise the salt reading on the readout is already at 2800. I don't have the generator turned on yet since I am going to get good levels with bleach first. Going to the store now to buy salt to have on hand...
