    Need some help...

    OK thanks! Apparently I forgot to say the water is completely clear and "sparkling" which it is. The other thing I was wondering is should I keep it at a higher FC level now that it has had this type of algae to try and make sure it doesn't return? I have it at 6 now.

    Need some help...

    Was away for a while (vacation) and came back to an issue. We had a yellowish looking substance collecting on the shady side of the pool between the floor and the wall. It was also in patches on the bottom of the pool. When I brushed it, it just looked like powder and disappeared only to be...

    Is it Algae?

    Hello!, Just cleaned my filter out and found some nastiness. Not sure if its just pollen and other stuff from cutting the grass around the pool or if it is algae. This is the second time that I have found this in two weeks. Pool is crystal clear with no problems whatsoever. :confused...

    I finnaly got time to do the onlt and lost 1.8. That was after a day of people swimming so I don't know if some of that was breakdown from that overnight. To maintain, I have been having to add 2-3 quarts of bleach a day. Does that sound about right for this size pool? 21x43 AG vinyl Full...

    Also cleaned the filter cartridge thoroughly, the inside of the filter unit and installed a new body o-ring on the filter that just came in the mail. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    OK, got the pump running. Added 6.1 gallons of bleach to get to shock level. I will test it in 30-45 minutes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    Because of not being able to start the pump/filter. Just frustration I suppose. I am trying to get it restarted now but not having any luck, and it is supposed to rain all day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    Well, the lid came off of the pump strainer yesterday and got the motor wet. That tripped the GFCI outlet. I am hoping when it dries up it will allow me to reset it. I did the ONLT anyway (not sure if the pump being off would affect it) and started at 1.4 FC and this morning had 1.2 FC.
