My pool supplier has me put some sort of filter sand cleaner in at close every year. It goes in the skimmer while it's backwashing to suck it into the filter. Then, the next day, I have to backwash the system until the water runs clean. That's why I just left it set on backwash

That's what I figured happened- it got siphoned out. I've just never left it set on backwash so I've never seen that happen. Guess I'll know not to do that again....

The hose would have been below the water level (down an incline) but the pump and filter sit above water level.

After backwashing my filter today, I turned off the pump and left the filter handle in the "backwash" position (I have to backwash it again in the morning to wash out some filter sand cleaner). After about an hour, I noticed the water level in the pool had dropped about an inch. After a small...

It came with a plastic screen for hose that goes into pool. Never clogs and we've got PLENTY of leaves. I also threaded the pool-end hose under our leaf cover Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Been meaning to come back to this... I bought a transfer pump and got the water off. For anyone who has a problem with water on their cover, I highly recommend buying a transfer pump over a standard sump pump. For those who don't know what a transfer pump is, it is a pump with an inlet and...

Thanks for all the replies. I contacted my pool guy, since he is the one who told me to sump pump it. He said it is a solid cover so water shouldn't be coming through and agreed that I should've noticed a difference in water level on cover after a few minutes of pumping. He's gonna send his guys...

I haven't tried the garden-hose-siphon yet. I figure a leaf or something will just stop the flow over and over again but I may give that a shot. JohnT- Now you've got me curious as to whether the cover is permeable or not...They more I think about it, the cover looks so much like a big tarp and...

I assume it's permeable. It's a standard winter tarp-type cover. Nothing fancy Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

- - - Updated - - The cover is anchored with water bags on the concrete. They tied it to gallon jugs of water on the side that is only partially buried. What I don't want to happen is to pump water from under the cover out while the water on the cover stays at the same level and just keeps...

This was our first year with a pool. We had it professionally closed because our's is sort of an odd-ball situation (part of it is fully buried with a concrete deck and part is out of the ground.) We have a mesh cover as well as a leaf net. Last week, we had 4" of rain and there is now a lot of...

I have a Doughboy pool (installed in July) that was recessed into the ground. This weekend, we discovered two places where there appears to be something behind the liner, on the wall about 6" below water, that seems to be close to poking through. The liner is an EZ Clip liner. Is there anyway...

Thanks. Guess it's not mobile-friendly? Seems to not work right on my phone. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Entering "TF-100" doesn't lead me to a test kit on this site Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Is there anyone on here who DOES like the FrogLeap System? Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

OK. I'll read up some more. But, I have to say, my pool is crystal clear, with perfect pH and alkalinity measurements. Maybe I just shouldn't worry about FC readings between 3-5ppm Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Nevermind. I should've read a bit more first. I see most people don't endorse this system. Too late for me now....

This is my first post here, so I hope it's in the right spot. I'm looking for expertise on the Frog Leap System. We just had our pool installed last month (July 18) and we have this, in my opinion, waste-of-money system. I have continually adjusted the dial down to where it is now just a...
