Oh, I see! Thank you for the photos, that helps. This is a great idea! I’ll give it a try. If I catch some stuff, is that likely to be DE?

I think the DE amount that was put into the cleaned/reassembled filter was the correct amount, but I’m wondering if it’s possible that something wasn’t reassembled correctly. I may just be paranoid because of the extent of the work that had to be done to get us up and running again after what...

Our DE filter needed a major cleaning, and some parts had to be replaced. We were not able to run the pool for about a week. During this time, the already greenish water became very green. The repairs were done Wed. and I have been SLAMing, testing, and running the pump 24/7 ever since. The...

That’s a good point - I’ll have to look. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more of those bottles, but I can check. I guess that would be an inactive ingredient, so it wouldn’t have to be listed on the label? That was the first thing that I checked when I saw that their brand had changed.

I’ve been buying the 12.5% liquid chlorine from my local family-owned, trusted pool store for a few years now. This year, I’ve noticed that the brand has changed, but the strength of active ingredient has remained the same. However, I’m now noticing a sudsy film coming out from the returns...

Thank you!

Here’s a picture showing that valve, if that helps.

I’m buying a skimmer vacuum head and hose so that I can clean up some fine dirt and debris that the Polaris doesn’t catch (goes right through the fine mesh bag). I’ve never used a skimmer vacuum before, so I want to make sure that I don’t do it wrong. I have a valve that I can turn from Main...

Thank you!

That’s a good idea, I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you!

I use a Leaf Master with a white fine-mesh fabric drawstring bag attached to remove leaves and other Spring tree droppings from my pool. This year, some green clouds started coming up from the bottom while I was vacuuming the leaves, and the white bag got covered in green algae. I tried...

I switched off the power to the system, restarted it, and it worked! I was finally able to get into the scheduling menu. Thank you very much for your help today! I’ll know what to do next time.

I turned off Live Text on the iOS device that is using OS 15, logged out of my iAquaLink account and back in, and I’m still not able to get past the Waiting to Connect screen. I went out to check on the antenna/receiver, and here’s a photo. The LED for Power doesn’t appear to be on - how am I...
