Who is supposed to be maintaining the pool? If pool builder, than follow his instruction for warranty. If it was my pool, I would just add some bleach/chlorine. Have you bought a Pool Test Kit, yet?

Was just wondering if your pool equipment is on a concrete/plastic/fiberglass slab or directly on the dirt/ground?

Those rocks look like Moss Rocks. I also have Moss Rocks for my waterfall and part of my pool wall. Are you sure it is algae and not moss starting to grow. I am pretty sure you have nothing growing below the waterline. I use a spray bottle full of bleach and a nylon brush to remove the moss off...

I would buy some plain old bleach/chlorine from HEB, Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowes, etc.

What are the results for your "FC" test? FC

A 25% increased on your normal filter psi. For example: At 8 psi, you would backwash at approximately 10 psi. A 2 psi increased of 8 psi is approximately 25%. I am an old fart, so I am using math from the 60's and 70's. Good luck

You already have 2 outfits to add chlorine/bleach. Why switch to pucks?

Do the threads on Barrel Nut and T-bolt look good? No damage on the threads?

I am a noobe, but after cleaning my Pentair DE Plus Filter 2 days ago, the spring with the brass nut (picture #2) should be compress together. I will let the experts chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

I have 16' x 34' freeform(kidney) pool that is 4' - 6" deep. I should have gone deeper, due to living in the Houston, Texas area. Water warms up in the summer.

These are the pool hangers I bought on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008HZHCRY?psc=1 .

If the hoses are inexpensive, the smart thing to do would be to replace both hoses.

Chlorine gas being produce by your SWCG (salt water chlorine generator).

Open your pool. What do mean? Who closes their pool in the Southern United States. Current pool water is 72. A little too chilly for me.

To check for a gas leak before your installer shows back up. Use a spray bottle with soap and water. Spray the gas connections and look for bubbles.
