Hey eveyone, I know this is a common question on the forum but after 3 weeks I'm just not sure what I should be doing at this point. Pool was swampy green when I opened it. It has brand new sand, and I balanced everything and SLAMed for two weeks and vaccuum all the leaves and debris from the...

I have a 1.5 HP Pentair Dynamo High Performance with a Fiber Glass (sand) filter. Under normal operating conditions (pool clean, recently backwashed), my PSI sits at about 15. At 15 PSI the return jet is powerful enough to where my hand cannot easily plug it (it pushed my hand to a side or...

Hi, I have a 24" above ground pool, 3 years old. Within the first year of owning the pool, the steps/ladder became dislodged from its position and created 6 gashes in the liner. The first repair I used Swimlane underwater patches and they didn't last me through the off season. I think they...

Hello, I'm sure you get new user giving the pool life story and the suggesting SLAM but here is mine. We got a new above ground pool in September last year, was good for the 2 weeks we had it open then closed it. There was a hole in the pool cover when we opened it in May and the water looked...
