I got it taken care of now by getting the layer out and a modified version of the prescribed deep clean of the filter. Thanks for the help. AG | 18x33 Oval | vinyl | 15k gallons | 1.5 hp sand filter | multi port | installed summer 2016

Jblizzle I'd like to hear more about what you mean about actively getting it down. Also, could you send me the link for an appropriate test kit given what I have below? I think I had two profiles out here when I reset my device. AG | 18x33 Oval | vinyl | 15k gallons | 1.5 hp sand filter |...

Thanks. I couldn't get the video to load but I will find it. Another question: Cya is still high (120-130 and it seems to vary). I vacuum to waste once a week and lose about 4 inches of water. I begin refilling after vacuuming about 1/3 of it. Is it a better practice to drain more and come...

Cracked open the sand filter head and on top of the sand today I found this thick spongy stuff. I removed most of it by hand and have back washed several times about every 30 minutes today for about 3 hours. I've put algaecide in it and over shocked. There are still some smaller pieces of this...

JoeSelf, Honestly, I tried vacuuming under it to no avail. I actually took the steps out and have no plans to put them back this summer. I'd like to use them, but If I do, I'll probably do some kind of self contained sand bag or something to strap to the holes. Mine set is maybe a little older...

After many nights reading, I have joined to post. Long story made short, I think our everlasting algae is defeated for good. A few things I've learned: 1. Don't use pea gravel in the "weight jugs" for your wedding cake steps. 2. Don't expect to "floc" with any success until your FC and...
