I shock weekly and keep 2 tablets in the skimmer at all times for chlorine. I was testing it myself with the standard kit, and all was fine, but still had issues. I went to Leslie Pools and had them test it and they would find this or that, I'd treat it, and get to spec, but still had algae issues.

I'm not reccomending it, I just wanted to share my experience and get some feedback. I had to change the earth weekly last year, just to keep it crystal clear. It's in full sun all day. I had to pump it down every day, sometimes twice. Even keeping chlorine high, the fight with algae has always...

Lower pressure typically means better flow though. The first filter sitting at 10-12psi, the second sitting at 8-10psi, and water is moving quite quickly. The pump is a 220v 2hp if memory serves. When pressure drops on the second filter, the first is full and I flush and it returns to normal...

I would think that, as long as the pressure is not high on either of the filters, it shouldn't reduce flow any. I already had the filters, so no out of pocket expense for them. Question though, how much sand should go in the sand filter? I always put one bag, 50lb, it comes up pretty high at...

Low water level is typically due to poor water flow, typically your filter has to much pressure(full).

I ran a sand filter for years, it worked well enough, but I had to vacuum to waste if it was heavy because the particulates just wouldn't get caught, and green would come out the jets. Last year my father filled in his pool, and gave me his DE filter. I put it on, and it worked great, but found...
