    I want to get the Barracuda MX8 cleaner, but no posts about it. Help

    I have a dolphin premier robotic cleaner, the thing is amazing! Gets the pool spotless, down to the smallest particles. 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    I'll start with my CYA is 45.... I'm using a gallon of HTH liquid Chlorine a day (light bather load 4ppl). Does this seem about normal consumption??? Trying to maintain 3-6 ppm 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part...

    Sand Filter Problems

    I'm not sure what the Sand was exactly, bought it from the pool store. I do remember thinking that it looked a little coarse 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Sand Filter Problems

    One thing I am worried about is that when I built it, I used 1.5" PVC, if I had to do over I would change to 2", but no going back on that now :/ 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Sand Filter Problems

    I have a ball valve after my pump outlet, could I close that, say 60% and slowly open it, and that could help? 20x40 IG Vinyl, Hayward Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Pentair Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Sand Filter Problems

    This is the first season with the filter, haven't had to deep clean, just BW. Water chemistry is irrelevant for why my filter is dispersing dirty water after being off all night.

    Sand Filter Problems

    What's up everyone! So here is the deal, I shut off the Sand Filter at night and turn it back on in the morning. Upon. Startup, I notice the return lines are spraying out a bit cloudy water for awhile, taking my previously sparkling water from the SLAM to slightly cloudy. If I leave the pump...

    Cloudy pool after rain

    I have have been using Taylor test kits for years, I'm the CO for a local school distric. Let me tell you, outdoor pools are a totally different animal! I'm on day 3 of the SLAM, I had been using trichlor tabs from In the Swim, they haven't effected my CYA but I can't keep the pool crystal...

    Solar Cover on during SLAM?

    What about leaving the cover on all the time when the pull isn't in use and I'm not SLAM'ing? Could this cause a slight cloudyness? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Solar Cover on during SLAM?

    So I'm 2 days into the SLAM, I've had my solar cover on most of the time, only pulling it back to peek at the clarity. Does leaving the cover on have a negative effect? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
