Hurricane Matthew has passed by. The pool took on about 4 inches of water and a bit of debris which I vacuumed away this morning. I went ahead and ordered one of the Infusion V-fittings.

I have received and installed the 360 circulating jets and now I get why I would need the V-Fusion also. The circulators now direct the flow in 360 directions that are 90 degrees apart from where the flow used to be. So now you need to point your jets 90 degrees off as well to compensate. I...

All 4 of my jets are exactly the same, I don't have any spinners - yet. My orders should be arriving soon.

Yeah, temperatures are still in the high 80's down here. I run my pump from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm. I am not following what you meant by " I do not believe the steps are the same ones (They usually spin around, not out)" ??

I only indicated the 2 returns where I intended to place the rotating jets. There are 4 total:

You are probably right. Guess I was thinking of HVAC systems where you have vents that blow into the rooms and returns that "suck" the air out.

The pool is large, 30 ft by 15 ft and there is one jet on 3 of the 4 walls. The 4th jet comes out across my stairs above the last step. I think I would place the rotating jets near the corner on each of the shorter walls.

I ordered a pair of these this morning. Thanks for the tip!

"where the water returns to the pool" - sounds like jets. I believe returns are where water returns to the filter/pump in which case I have 2: the drain and the skimmer. I possibly have a third one which is capped and I don't know where that pipe goes.

My stairs are not removable. The ladder can be removed and I may take it out if I still have problems.

Those rotating heads sound very interesting. It that would solve my headache I certainly wouldn't mind spending the money on a pair of them. The returns, not sure that I am plumbed for any. I do have one hole that has been capped ever since I bought the house 20 years ago. Pool was already...

I have taken care of all the above so we will see how this turns out. 1. Removed the pool light and cleaned behind - not very much there but maybe a small amount of algae was living there. 2. Cleaned around the stairs - I think there was a significant amount there as it clouded up quite a bit...

Other than SLAMMING for 4-5 days and passing the OCLT is there anything else to completing a SLAM? - - - Updated - - - Ok so the instructions say: SLAM: Test the FC level and add enough chlorine to bring FC up to shock level (see here for correct shock level) Test and adjust chlorine levels...
