    Iron

    Does the Iron eventually filter out or do you have to keep adding sequestrant? I just had liner replaced and when I refilled pool it is clear yellow/green so from what I am reading I feel pretty sure I have Iron but I would like to get rid of it and not have to keep adding a new chem.

    My math was wrong for FC

    Pump looses prime over night... is this normal?

    Pump looses prime over night... is this normal? It primes right up when I turn it back on. It takes about 20-30 seconds to prime. I thought I read or watched on youtube at some point that the pump supposed to stay primed... :confused:

    New... Just saying hello. I am about to get started...

    Hello all, I am closing on a house this coming Friday that has a 15,000 gallon in ground liner pool. I was totally ignorant about pools and have been doing my homework since we placed an offer on this house. Currently they have a pool boy that keeps it crystal clear and wonderful. The pool...
