    Pump loses jet flow in one day.

    I see, good info, and thank you for it. I do apprciate it. I usually backwash 3 to 5 minutes depeding on how low the flow was. Now that I listen and think about what you are saying, it probably is residual dead algea and other debris, like the stuff that is in the bottom of the pool right now. I...

    Pump loses jet flow in one day.

    The kit goes to ten and I was keeping it darker than that, and from all the other things I've read including on this forum, which isn't the only conversion method, I have completed the process. If I have not should that cause my filter to clog after one day? Should it cause my multiport to be...

    Pump loses jet flow in one day.

I just finished the conversion from baquacil in the last two days, my water is clear with, what looks like to me, dead algae on the bottom. I brushed and wiped down the whole pool, after...

    Pump loses jet flow in one day.

    I would like to add that I may have found a leak...I noticed water coming out the multiport and the base of the handle. I don't know if this would have anything to do with the above problem I described or not.

    Pump loses jet flow in one day.

    I made the conversion from baquacil to chlorine, changed sand in my filter. Before I made the conversion I was having to backwash every couple days because I would lose flow from the jets and suction in skimmer, and filter pressure would go up to 26 psi from 23. When this would happen I also...

    Pump priming problem

    Thanks for responding. The seal on the pump basket is good. When I shut off the pump and unscrew the screws the vacuum is the there, when I pull off the lid. The water is not to low and there is no air from the skimmer, I have also tried to prime from the drain and that didn't work either.

    Pump priming problem

    Ok, so another newbie here, go easy on me. I have a 16x32 IG pool. Sand filter. Just bought a house 1 month ago with pool. Using Baquacil. After visiting various pool stores I have figured out that the sand in my filter needs to be changed. At the recommendation of a pool guy not to worry about...
