Wayne, I'm right here in the Luling area and have been using the BBB method for three years now and after you get a year under your belt it'll be a lot easier, and cheaper. I have a 24' above ground as well and this is what I do to mine. Very easy. Beginning of each summer I test CYA and FC...

yah my auto vac picked up a good bit of debris and after two cleanings it seems to be good to go now. Still haven't ordered the new filter bc this one seems to be doing good right now.

Put my diver Dave vacuum in and it picked up a lot of small debris from the bottom of the pool that I didn't even notice was in their. Pool is crystal clear and it picked up some stuff so for the first time the filter actually looked dirty two days in a row. I also used the small brass fitting...

Yes I have. I even soaked it in TSP and again with acid. Neither seemed to make a difference. The pool looks completely spotless though lol even at night with the light on I don't see any floating particles. I passed the over night test and have 0 CC, water sparkles like crazy with sunlight. I'm...

Sorry I meant I'm losing flow from the increase in pressure on the filter gauge. After cleaning filter my gauge is at 12psi, after about 30 mins I'm up to 16-18psi. First 2 - 2.5 years I had the filter it would run 2-4psi and water flow out of the return was extremely strong. Now the water flow...

Tried just using my top skimmer it seemed to help a little but still losing flow. Prolly just time for a new filter. If I had to guess this is prolly why my Hayward diver would just coil up last summer. Guessing the pump was still sucking like normal and with the filter clogging it up it...

Makes me think, tommorrow after I clean the filter I'll turn off my bottom drain and use my top skimmer to see if that's the problem

Do you mean like a auto vac? Yah I have the Hayward diver dive but it's not in at the moment. - - - Updated - - - Yah I'm going to wait to replace it until I clear the over night test. I've had great results with the bleach method for three years now, always kept the FC in range until the the...

Yah I say filter but mean cartridge. Thanks

Pool is getting better each day, no more slime in the filter. Can see the whole bottom of the floor of the pool but slightly cloudy so I'm still slamming it. Even without the slime it still losing flow after about a half hour after cleaning. Like I said brand new it ran at 3-4 psi and now...

Will do thanks a lot. Still in the slamming process water is getting clearer and I'll just keep the filter clean and see what happens thanks.

Yah after soaking it in TSP for hours then rinsing really good then I soaked it in acid for about 30-40 mins did not see any foaming at all. I put it back in the pool and it only took a few mins. Before flow slowed again. I did something your not suppose to after that and hit it with the...

That's what I was looking for, thanks.

Is their any benefit/down fall to having the chlorine way over the limit. Instead of having my chlorine at 15 say I keep it at 30 will the process work faster?

Guess I'll start the SLAM process again just not sure how well it's working being the filter needs cleaning after 5 mins. Hate to put a new filter in and clog that one too. So I'll start the slam process again and just clean the filter once a day and see if I make any headway. I'll report back...

Not sure of the water temp. But outside temp is 66 degrees, located in south Louisiana and pool is half in ground.

pH-7.2 FC- 1.5 ( I know it's low haven't keep bleach in it while figuring out filter) CC-1.0

I have a 24' round above ground pool. 1.5hp pump with a Pentair clean and clean 150 and been using the bleach method for two years with great results. This winter I let the pool go and had a some algae at the bottom so I started by sweeping the bottom and walks and throwing in bleach, normally I...

ok thanks alot jblizzle. Ill prolly go buy one tom. and try to get my brother over their to hook it up. Thanks again. I will report back tom. to let everyone know if it worked.

Ok the previous owner just text me this. 110 from gfci breaker in garage all the way to the pump area. Hope this helps

Yes it does have its own breaker but Im at work right now and wont be home for another 8 hours. What kind of breaker will determine one or the other?

Dont worry I wont be touching any wires, my brother is an electrican but is busy remodeling his bathroom. So im trying to get everything ready so he can just come put it on and be done with it. Im trying to get in touch with the previous pool owner to see if its 110 or 220. Ill be back when I...

I need to replace my timer on my pump and cant read anything off the old timer. My pump says Volts 230/115, and amps 8.0/16.0. I will be passing by lowes tom. so hopefully I can figure this out. What kind of timer do I need. Never was good with electrical.

I dont understand why people say cleaning the cartridge filter is such a pain? It comes off really easy and hoses off real easy so it really only took me 5-10 mins. Your not wasting water backwashing like a sand filter. I know everyone has their own opioions which is fine, Im just saying I like...

If I get some air in the strainer pot itll just stay their. I just close my suction valve a little and open it up a little faster. I dont have anything to do to the filter. Now when I clean the strainer pot and cleaned the filter their was air in the filter, but just simply turn the relief valve...

I have the pentair cc150. Its been running for about a month and the pressure hasnt moved off 2-4 pounds. I love it way better than my 16'' which was undersized for a 24' pool. I only cleaned it one time which was the other day just to see how dirty it was and it was full of sand and lets just...

copotay what kind of wood did you use and did you stain it yet? Im also from louisiana and not sure if I want to go with composite wood or treated.
