Check valve was turned 90 degrees so it wasn't an issue. Just didn't have the power to push the water with the shop vac.

Im looking at replacing my old pump/filter. I have a cartridge filter now and not sure if I should continue with that or do sand or de? I'm also thinking of taking advantage of the $300 comes credit and getting vs pump. I was looking at the pentair superfoods vs. I can grab it for 799 then get...

Well pool is closed.... sucks I paid $300 to have a guy come hook up a cyclone for 5 min. And give me a pool closing kit but piece of mind for this year and looks like I'll be spending another $300 next year to do it my self.

Yes I did. I even went to the T are by the main drain and tried blowing that way down. Figured with a 6hp shop vac it would be no problem but that's not the case. Im guessing it's just stubborn and I'll have to invest in a cyclone for the future???

So I'm trying to close my pool and this is the equipment pad. Returns on the left and skimmer/main drain on the right. The other plug I was questioning earlier is actually a tee coupler that goes to the main drain?.... I blew it out from the equipment pad to there but can't get it to budge on...

is that something I should be concerned with? Or is that just for install purposes. I know when they installed the new liner ground water was an issue according to the receipt the previous owner left. We just had 7in of rain in 24hrs. And making sure I shouldn't be doing anything because of...

It's a polymer lined pool with a sand bottom and a vinyl liner of that helps.

I'm hoping someone can help tell me the purpose of this plumbing piece located on the side of my pool. I just moved here and this is my first inground pool. I want to close the pool myself to save money but not sure if this is something I have to mess with or not. Any help would be greatly...

I'm looking to sell my pool robot. I purchased new last year. It's great for above ground pools. I prefer someone local as I want to avoid shipping. I'm looking to get $200. Let me know if your interested and I can send pics. It's in excellent condition and I store in my garage when not being used.

Is there an area to sell items on this forum? I belong to a couple where they have an area to sell used items. I'm looking at selling my 1 year old aqua bot pool cleaner and thought someone here local would be interested.

Thank an you for the insight and info. It's much appreciated! ron

Well we sold our house and are looking at buying a new home with an inground pool. It is roughly 18' by 36' oval with a deep end. It just had a new vinyl liner installed this year. It has 3 returns, 1 skimmer and 1 main drain in the deep end. I don't believe the shallow is below 4' deep. Not...

I removed the stairs and they are sitting out the pool. I poured bleach on he areas the best I could but some are impossible to get to I can't get to them to scrub or let bleach soak on them.

Good morning everyone, hoping to get some great advise from the experts here. I have an algae problem in my majestic wedding stairs. I drilled multiple holes in the base and other areas to help with water circulation. I've been having a little difficulty this year getting my pool to "sparkle"...

Yeah the picture makes it look less noticeable then it is. It just appears to me to be mich more faded then it should over a year. If I had an elevated FC level for a week? Would that be the cause?

After 1 year of having my pool I feel the liner is pretty faded. I pulled out my wedding steps yesterday and there was a significant color difference in that area verse the rest of the pool. It was even worse where the suction cups of the ladder were. Is this natural to see this or is it...

Kind of confused on this whole back swimmer issue. My buddy told me I shouldn't have any in my pool and I've done some research and that seems correct. I did find 2 small algae spots 2 weeks ago and have treated that. I never showed any cc in my testing so still confused by that. I slammed last...

Chlorine loss is normal daily. A cover will actually help not lose as much. Do you have stabilizer in the water?

Well my wife said they were sweat bees yesterday after looking something online up but I'm not sure. There a lighter golden color - - - Updated - - - Doing a quick search I believe they are honey bees. Not sure why she said sweat bees last night but....

AFTER RESEARCH 99% SURE THEY ARE HONEY BEES Sorry for the confusion So I know there's gonna be a bee or 2 or 3 here and there but yesterday I had a bigger issue. I went to take off the solar cover and there was 1 flying around by the ladder. By the time I bungeed it to the other side and...

Well I ran an oclt and o haven't lost any so hopefully no more issues. Pool sroll at shock level so think I killed anything that had a chance :)

Also I have my pump running on low 4rs in the morning and 4hrs at night. Should I possibly change this to an 8 hr. Cycle since low doesn't seem to circulate the water as well i also had a few psi pressure drop on my pump and took out my cartridge and roamed it as it was FILTHY. And put it crack...

These spots are on the other side of the return so I can definetly see circulation being not as good there. I have my return pointed down and away from my skimmer. It seems to create a good swirl in the pool and figured it to be best. Do you have any recommendations on changing that to help with...

So today I pulled off the solar cover after being on since Sunday night and found 2 small algae spots on the bottom where the sun is shaded more of the day then the rest. My results are good and curious why this came about and if I should be concerned. I brushed after seeing this and put the...
