Hi all, I’m trying to figure out where the water in my pool is going. The weird thing is, it doesn’t seem to be consistent. Some days it drops a lot, and others, not as much. Some days it drops more with the pump on, others with it off. For example, I heated the pool up a few days ago for a...

Thanks for the reply. I fixed it! Shamefully it was as simple as plugging one of the jets and suddenly the other one created a planet’s worth of bubbles, and then started working. Woohoo! Now I have a definite drop in water level, but I guess that should be a new thread as it’s likely more...

Hi all, So out of four jets, it looks like one has decided to stop collaborating. My layout is: one on the shallow end, two in the steps (still in the shallow end), and one at the deep end. One of the ones in the step stopped working. I fed an endoscope into the jet. I got through about 5’...

My sand is completely clean ... seeing as it's about two weeks old at this point. :) I'll hang on with the DE until I get my kit and start the SLAM process, I guess. I just hope it helps - cause if it doesn't, I have no idea what to do anymore.

Interesting. I will investigate this. Maybe I will try adding some ... maybe it will help. We have about 4 days of nice weather ahead so I was hoping to at least clear up the pool to use it, even if I might not get the chemistry quite right until I get Dave's kit on Monday...

Well... I've always done that when the pool is extremely dirty (partially because in the three years of pool ownership, I don't think I was ever able to vacuum to 'Filter', as it would tend to always come back). However, speaking with Dave, he feels it's a huge waste of water and isn't the way...

Hmm. As part of my sand replacement, I examined the laterals VERY closely - I even took them to a pool store to explore, and I'm sure they'd have happily sold me a new set if they were even remotely bad. But they were great; I cleaned some grains of sand from them and put them back in. I see...

Err I did add a signature - maybe it's not posting because I'm on my phone. I'll see if I can revive it. 300lb Hayward S-244T and a 1.5hp (SF 1) pump, 1.5" piping. Agree it's chemistry but not concerned with that for now - can't figure out why stuff returns. Once my test kit comes in next week...

Hi all, I'm having a very strange issue. My filter seems to not be filtering dirt. Here's what happens: when I vacuum in "filter" mode, the jets tend to return cloudy water back (which tends to contain most of the fine dirt I'm picking up with the vacuum). If I vacuum to waste and a section of...

Hi all, Just discovered this forum after desperately searching for ideas on what to do with a green pool. Looks like I have much learning to do - Pool School reading, test kits to buy, etc... Just before I plunge into this, one question. Background: I have been running with a green'ish pool...
