Re: Getting white particles in water on output side of filte in the process of shocking as we speak. I didn't notice that the pool is getting cleared up today. I just think it was something that the pump wasn't grabbing or was just like the film or specs in the water that you get when shocking...

Re: Getting white particles in water on output side of filte It looks worse at night with the flashlight going in. Looking at in the day looks like its more of just very small particles floating. Cant get a really good pic of it sadly. The pool has just been cloudy the past couple days and was...

On my Hayward pump there is a plastic guide ring that helps hold the propeller assembly in place that getting a little beat up from the plastic on plastic contact. I have put that back in the wrong way and when i started the pump it seemed to have a grinding sound. Once I flipped it back in the...

I have a valve on the output side of my filter that i use to check to make sure the water is clear going back into the pool. I guess it was put there when the pool was built before they had multi-valves. I am getting a slight film on the water line in the pool and in the cup that i test the...

When I first opened the pool the filter had not been ran in over a year and DE was left in it and would not backwash. I opened it and did a good cleaning. I cycled it again last night and the pressure went up 15 or so by morning. I just did a backwash and opened the filter and sprayed all the...

No I am not running a salt set up. I thought about it but don't want to put the money up for it. lol I found the foam has gone away after I got my leak fixed. Got to love a bad o-ring in the return tube. It was probably not filtering out the stuff they had me put in. Yeah now i have a good...

The last 2 nights I have back washed and put new DE in my filter to find it raising from 16 to 30 in matter of hours. My pool is currently being shocked and is a slight green. I did have a DE leak this last week that I have fixed. Could it be that the pump is picking up the extra DE in the pool...

I have found a product made by JB weld called (Water Weld). Its a putty epoxy that is in a stick like form. My multiport input had a crack and I pushed it in there it sets in about an hour and so far has held up. I found it at home depot.

yeah sadly leslie's had me put green to clean and that first aid stuff in while I was in the first stage of shocking. Well per there shocking instructions. There was just too much junk in the pool so most of the chem were used on killing it as I was getting it all out. My main worry was that it...

I am currently working on my CYA numbers before I carry out working up to shock FC. My CYA is about 90 now and will be turning a lot more water over in the next day. I have found that when my pump is running a get a white like residue on the surface. Not sure what this could be from. It could...

Thank you for the welcome. I wish I found this site before I went shopping. I found a post stating that pucks and granulated chlorine raise CYA. I started with really little CYA and now it went out of control because of the PS telling me to dump all that granulated chlorine in, sigh.... Spent...

Great advice I have found here. Great job on this site. I just inherited my house and have started on the pool opening of this summer. A bit late I know. It was pretty bad starting out. It was a green pond with overgrowth and even a couple of ducks in it. I have cleaned out all the green Crud on...
