Yes I have a aquadoor. I think I would feel better still draining the pool below skimmer.

Thanks I will give it a shot!

Yes only one return and skimmer and I do have a compressor. What fitting are you referring too?

Great thanks for replying! That's some good info

Just wanted to make sure I was doing this right. Bring pool up to shock level for 24 hours, add polyquat algaecide and let mix for an hour. Drain pool 6 inches below return, Plug skimmer and return. I have lines that are in the ground as shown. Do I cover the other end where I disconnect the...

My pump was on too, and they didn't care a bit! :(

I have 2 Boston terriers but there no help either!

All very good ideas! I especially like the cow answer, but I would have to build a ramp for him to get into the pool!!

Just installed a new pool a couple weeks ago and yesterday I was dreaming of the weather being warmer so I could actually use the pool and 3 ducks flew in and landed directly in my pool! I chased them off with the skimmer handle and hopefully they don't come back! Any proven methods of Duck...

Thanks! I have read it all several times I just wanted to make sure I was correct in my thinking. What I read and what my brain computes doesn't always correlate!

Ok here are my current readings. Haven't added anything since 4/23/16. We had a large amount of rain yesterday, don't know if that matters. Ph is between 7.8 and 8.3. Any suggestions? Acid perhaps? Ph 7.8 Fc 5 Cc .5 Ta 180 Cya 40

Great thanks I even went out and bought the acid! Glad I waited. I'll get it all right one day! Thanks again

Yes it was a new fill. So correct me if I am wrong. My TA is too high and I should add muractic acid which brings down my PH and TA? Then I should aerate or add baking soda to bring my PH back up?

After adding 121oz of 7.9% bleach here are my numbers after a retest. PH 7.5 FC 9 Cc 1 TA 180 CYA 30 Any suggestions?

Ha! I figured I would use them since it was free. Lesson learned. Bleach is on its way! Thanks again!

New readings after a day of running pump for 24 hours and using the tri Chlor, ph decreaser, and adding shock that came with my starter kit from the pool store. Ph 7.2 Fc 1 Cc 0 Ch 200 TA 200 Cya 25

Ok thanks for the heads up! I will not add the mineral canister. Maybe I'll just eliminate the inline tri chlor all together.

I didn't add the mineral canister yet.. It just has the chlorine canister for now in it.

This is it

Accidentally added 4lbs of DE instead of 3lbs. 14.5 psi on the gauge. I don't know what I was thinking! Is that really bad? is it ok to post this question here or should it be somewhere else?

Great thanks I am so excited! PS I don't have the heater hooked up yet. I literally just got finished filling the pool.

Just finished filling the pool and had the pool filled by a tanker but it was about 4 inches shy so I filled the rest with my well water. Pump and filter hooked up with inline chlorinator. I haven't run the pump or added DE yet. Here are my first readings Fc 0Cc 0 Ch 200 TA 170 Cya the black...

That was the only option they gave me for the 2 stage pump. I have also read everything in pool school and purchased TF-100 kit with XL option and the speed stir. I was just wondering about anything that I should look out for or should absolutely do because of the new installation.

Well I insisted on the 2 stage pump and they were very reluctant Do it because the DE filter comes prepackaged with the 1.5hp pump in the same box as the filter. They were just being lazy! So it's a 2hp two stage hayward. Pool is getting installed today. I am on a well so water is being...

Thanks for your help! I thought that sounded strange and I will insist on a 2 stage then.

I recently purchased a pool with a DE filter and I am still awaiting delivery. I contacted the salesman to see if I could change the 1.5HP pump to a 2 stage pump. The sale person said that DE filters don't work well with 2 stage pumps? Is that True??

This is what I was thinking about for the deck. I need to keep everything on the side where the stairs are at. That is the closest side to running my electric and gas. http://i.imgur.com/n1pvSTA.jpg
