Pressure is now 14 on high and 2 or 3 on low. No wonder I could not get more than 5 on high and 0 on low the last 4 months. I had no idea they would screw up the most important thing, but I knew nothing about pools until a few weeks ago. They just kept saying pressure is different in all...

What damage could it have done to my filter running 4 months like this?

You're gonna love this one. I took the valve off and everything looks good, even the gasket. I started going over everything, hoses, etc., and found out when they installed my pool 4 months ago, they hooked the return up to the pump and the pump to the return. That is probably 99% of all of...

I am draining some water out and while it is on waste out, water is also going through the return. I have not changed the gasket yet, just figured I would start draining while I go up and get the gasket. Even though the gasket looks good, could this also be caused by a bad gasket?

FL- 8.5, CC -.5 - 1, TA-100, CH - 1000, CYA - 35. This is why I ask you guys. Looks like the CH is way out of line. I will correct this, change the gasket and go from there. Thanks again.

Yes, I shut the pump off and depress the handle all the way before changing positions. I just took the valve off and the spider gasket looks O.K. I did change the sand after converting from Baquacil to Chlorine but was careful when I cleaned it out and replaced the sand. I guess I could have...

A lot of sand comes out on the rinse cycle, not just a little. My FL was 6 and I increased it to 16 for the last few days since I thought it was my water and nothing changed. I just bought the pool, filter, etc. 3 months ago, but I guess the gaskets could be bad. Maybe tomm. I will replace...

Also, while my pump is on high it has been leaking a little out of the exit port, if that points to anything.

My pool has been very clear since I switched from Baquacil to Chlorine a couple of weeks ago, until about 3 days ago. All at once my pool got cloudy. My FL, CC, CYA, and PH levels are good. Even though my pressure was only 6, I back washed anyway. On the rinse cycle not the backwash a lot of...

Changed sand yesterday and added CYA. FL 16.5 at 10:00pm last night and 16 at 6:30am this morning. CC's .5 this am and .5 now. CYA at 30 now. 7 psi. FL is 13 now and just raised to 17. Pool is not quite crystal clear but looks great. I want to thank everyone very much for their help with...

I just put the new gauge on and it is still at 7 psi. I think everything is O.K. It might drop more than 1 tonight because I am going to climb in and scrub every sq. inch again. I am glad I got the extra 870 and 871 from you because I ran out of the 871 last night. I am going to give it...

My PSI has not gone up 25%. Even though my filter is only 2 months old I bought another gauge and will put it on this afternoon to make sure the pressure is correct. It always stays between 6 and 8. Turn it off it goes to 0. Believe it or not can see the bottom clearly now and it only...

I just got in the pool and scrubbed everything. I did find a little bit underneath the bottom of the last two steps. I can just barley see the bottom now. The inside of the steps that fill up with water was most likely full of that mess and just took a while to get it out. I could e-mail the...

Yes, brushing the walls and using my pool rover. I had to take off, but when I get back I will try flicker.

Water is getting clearer. Almost can see the bottom. My psi has not increased by 25% since the first day. Stays between 6 and 7. I backwashed this morning just to see if there was anything in it and there wasn't. I will not backwash anymore. I do have CYA ready.

Yes, I brought it back to 15 and will keep it there.

I've tried everything to upload a picture but it says invalid image. I've taking other pictures and moved them to different folders also and same message. Last night at 11:30 I tested and it was holding at 15 and cc's were .5 (only 1 drop). 8:00 am it was at 6 and cc's the same .5. I will...

I added 45 minutes ago and just tested it and it is at 16.5. When I get back tonight I will recheck and I will take a pic in the A.M. I think things are going O.K. but I have sun from Sunrise to Sunset because I am on the beach, and that might be why it is cooking it up and is taking a while...

I think I will just keep at it and long as all of the local stores don't run out. 79 bottles so far. I can see the 4th step on the ladder now where I couldn't this morning so I think it made some progress today. Thanks for the help.

Even though the pool looks fairly good I cannot seem to pour it in fast enough in the daytime. I am putting in more an hour now than I did 5 days ago. I have no gook in the skimmer or when I backwash but I have put in 10 gallons in the last 2 1/2 hours. It is very hot and sunny today also...

Would it help or hurt if I put my solar cover on during the day?

Night before last it only dropped 1 ppm, thought I was there. then last night it dropped 7.5. I haven't seen any gook come out when I have backwashed and rinsed in 3 days. I still cannot see the bottom but the water looks good, only hazy. I have a Pool Rover Jr. and ran him about 4 hours...

Actually it is not bright green, just cloudy. But it must be eating away, I can see the third step.

It was 15 at 9:30 last night and 14.5 at 7:00 am this morning but still bright green and cloudy. Just keep on with it?

Started at 6:pm yesterday. Brought it back to 15 each time. 6pm - 6, 7pm- 10, 8pm- 12, 9pm- 15, 10pm- 12, 11pm- 13, 6am- 8.5, 7am- 9.5, 9:30am- 15(didn't put any back in), 3:30pm- 1 (very sunny)

I'll do it. Thanks

Got my test kit and talked to Dave today. Have FC at 15 now and will let er eat away. 25 bottles of 8.25 bleach so far.

One jug at a time. It has never turned orange. It is real dark yellow now but I never added enough to make it orange to be on the safe side until I get the test kit.

42 hours since I started and no brown gook, 22 bottles of bleach, and a pretty green color. My test kit should be in today. The question I have is why did my pressure in my sandfilter never rise? It usually is at 5 and it never went above 8. I backwashed and rinsed several times and very...

I should receive the test kit from Dave tomm. I have put in 18 gallons of bleach so far since 2:00 pm yesterday. I have never let the test kit that I bought from Walmart that only goes to 5 get more than real yellow. I do not think that I've messed with the liner and hope not since I just...
