Thanks Jason. Filter pressure is good and has been cleaned every other day. When my wife last cleaned it, it had sawdustly looking stuff in it. That's when we installed new filter Thursday night. There has been some visible improvement but very little. - - - Updated - - -

We are stumped. We're on our fifth year,I think, with our AGP and never had this problem. We live in the woods with a lot of trees around our 33' round AGP. The previous years we never covered the pool even tho I had bought a cover our first season. To avoid the massive clean-up in the...

Hello, I went to the pool store today and had them test my water just to compare to my test.They said I needed to add calcium.I thought tat if you had a vinyl liner you didn't have too.But the guy there told me if I didn't the water would leach it and cause wrinkles in our liner.What should I...
