    Where to drain a pool?

    I’m having someone come over this weekend to take my pool. I’m getting rid of it. My question is, where do I drain all the water? I can’t each the sewer and I’m not even sure that’s legal. Please let me know if you’ve done this, where all the water went. Will it kill my grass? Thanks

    Poor filtering. I think

    I had an algae problem in my pool. I was able to get the water to clear where I can see the bottom but it's still cloudy. My understanding is the cloudiness is dead white algae. It's just not going anywhere. I keep my pump running constantly and the water doesn't seem to be changing. I have...

    Pump pushing really hard

    I just wasn't sure if it was normal to discharge so forcefully it creates almost like waves in my pool. If that sounds like it working properly, then ok. I just didn't want to destroy anything

    Pump pushing really hard

    I have a Hayward 2 hp pump attached to a cartridge filter. It seems to be discharging out at a really high PSI. My gauge reads about 15-20 at all times. I can't seems to figure it out. It's really taking in a lot of water quickly and discharging really fast and hard. Is there anything I'm doing...

    Cloudy water!

    I guess I'm not slamming as much as pouring bleach into my pool and letting the filter run. I need help but i don't have the test kit, and I don't have time to wait to order one. I have baby number 2 Due in a week and I need to get this pool to as close to clean as possible becasue my time will...

    Air in my filter! Please help!

    I checked all my connections and used the plastic wrap around my lid like you said. Still getting air. Even after the water starts to spurt out the bleeder I can hear air continually spurting out with it. Any other ideas?

    Air in my filter! Please help!

    I have a Hayward filter that I'll attach pictures of. I inherited this filter and the pipes from the previous owner. It's circulating the water really well and everything seems to be working. The only issue is I continually have to keep bleeding off air. It's about everybody 15 minutes or so it...
