Seriously, great post! And exactly what I needed!!!! Thank you so very much!!! I will try and do this Sunday, unfortunately all I will have time to do Saturday is brush and check shock level, but will definitely do this Sunday, maybe I can even rope the hubby into helping LOL - - - Updated - -...

Yes! I am going to be keeping this up until I get to that point! Really frustrated with my pool guy, but more so myself for not keeping up with what he was doing. But with the backyard being under construction for the past several months I haven't really ventured out there much. Have some...

Ok did some more investigating and had to dig a bit, the backwash is routed to a landscape pipe. But now I have two more questions... 1. Do I open all suction valves for the back wash? I'm thinking I may turn the vacuum to off? 2. I apparently have a DE filter, and I have no idea if/when...

Also wanted to add, when we moved in and had the pool worked on, the guy said he rerouted the backwash to a landscape drain pipe, however, in looking at the system I don't see how this is possible, all I see is a backwash line that has a spout on the end like where you attach a water hose...

You guys are BRILLIANT! The two on the left are for the skimmers and the unlabeled one on the right is for the spa! I cut the skimmer suction to almost off, turned the handle between main drain and pool vacuum to where more suction is coming from the vacuum and my creeper is happily zooming...

Thanks Tim! I think I kind of had a panic moment when I realized summer, in Texas, is basically upon us and with all our new outdoor additions I want to be able to enjoy the pool. Hopefully my kit will be here tomorrow so I can come back with some definitive numbers that I know are accurate...

Oh and thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the reply! I just took over this job this week, and I didn't do a very good job of explaining! I have started SLAMing, but I think, and maybe this is some preconceived newbie notion I have, that having organic material on the bottom of the pool(dirt from all the work going on around...

Hi all! New here, and I have maintained a pool previously, but my filter system was much more "idiot proof" than the one at our new house, it had one handle that you simply turned to what you wanted it to do, the one now has levers all over. Last summer our pool guy rocked it, but this summer...
