Nobody huh?

On my pump setup I have the clear braided expensive hose running from pump to sand filter, the rest of my hoses are the plastic type with the built in ends. My question is about the plastic fittings that thread into my pump and filter. Some have the barbs on them, and some are smooth. All are...

Would like to see it after it's filled up, don't think I've ever seen a tannish colored liner in an above ground. We will probably replace ours next year and looking for different color options

Think I might do the 3-4" PVC filled with sand and capped. Them sand jugs are overpriced and way too wimpy. Lids don't keep water out, handles break, about the corners of the jugs crack after 1 year. I'm thinking I can get 50lbs easy out of a couple 2.5ft pieces of pipe.

We have the darkbuster light that serves as the return jet also. Lights up the water pretty good but we only have an 18'

I leave my return hole open, which is lower than the skimmer so water would never get to the skimmer. Never thought about it though. Definitely something to avoid after seeing your picture.

I used pavers under each support. Takes allot of time to get them level all the way across the pool but it makes a great support for your posts and track.

You left the hose hooked up so the skimmer would fill up with water? Never really thought about that but I'm glad I take my hoses off.

6'7" 340lbs I think I'd find a little guy and you could lift him out like a baby ?

I am wondering if anybody has found a good product to add weight to my steps. I have been using the anchor sand bags but I'm getting tired of spending $20 for a plastic bag that only lasts one season before the corners tear open. Surely there has to be a better made product or option

I'm slamming now and will continue. Have been pretty good about keeping the chlorine between 4-7 and with a cya that dropped to 30 I know that my chlorine levels have been good. How do I get rid of the dead algae since filtering had not seemed to work?

Alright, pH is 7.4 after I lowered it. CYA is 30. Thought I was closer to 50 but draining the rain water this last month must have took me down. FC 25 after I bumped it up CC is .5 as it was just the tiniest hint of pink after I added the R-0003 I was thinking dead algae but that's what had...

So when I do the chlorine test it should indicate something is growing in my pool? Buddy from work said mustard algae when I explained it to him. Just stopped by the pool store and she said mustard algae also and I need a product called Banish I believe. I am familiar with slamming and I...

I have a test kit. Does algae turn to brown dust when brushed?

2nd year for the above ground pool and it's been pretty easy to maintain. But for the most part of the summer I have been fighting this stuff settling to the floor. it's only on the bottom, if I brush it just turns to dust. If I vacuume on filter it settles to the bottom again over the next few...

Do you have rural king by you. 4gal of 10% and it is $8.

I have been back 2 times for a pressure gauge and a vacuume hose, both reasonably priced. Could not imagine having them test the water a few times a week and gouge me with the Biogaurd chemicals.

Just an update. Been a month or so since I got the pool cleaned up. It has been nothing but clear blue and a piece of cake to take care of. With the sun beating down I add 30-40 oz of chlorine and that's it. Vacuume when we get a storm, brush every once in awhile, and add chlorine. It has been...

I have a darkbuster light so the return is more of a slotted spray, not just a circle.

Alright, closed will keep it from coming in from the return. I'll do that then.

I would like to clean the basket on my sand filter. I made the mistake of taking the lid off once before, that was a wet mess lol. I have one of them rectangle covers to go over the skimmer opening on the inside of the pool, so that would stop water from that side. Is there a setting on my valve...

When I adjust my flow director it tightens up and I'm always having to loosen the retaining nut on the outside. It does get tight to where I can't get it by hand.

I am only on week 4 but I must say that this site and the slam the members recommended helped me a bunch. I started with a green pool and I can't imagine what would have happened if I was relying on the pool store and their biogaurd chemicals .I don't think I would have been able to afford it...

I have the darkbuster which looks similar. You have to unscrew the retainer nut on the outside before you can unscrew the flow director on the inside of the pool.

I pulled the cap and there is a part number. Now I know I have a Morado pool.

I was working on it lol. Have to use photobucket now for some reason. http://s248.photobucket.com/user/bronzeback5/media/IMG_20150704_203459845.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a>"]http://[/URL] - - - Updated - - -

Wondering if anybody could help me find one of these caps for my pool. I could have sworn I had them all when I bought it, but one must have ran off lol. It is sort of a tan color with 2 screws, one in each side. I am not sure who is the manufacturer of the pool. Any help is appreciated.

I would get the sand filter and spend $40 of the saved money on an Ecoone hose filter for your refills. Our water turned nasty brown with iron just a few weeks before we put up our pool, some of the worst water we've had in the 20 years I've lived here. We used the ecoone filter and there was...

17 hours later the FC is still 7. Hmmm?

I was in ace hardware and happened to notice 20 lbs of de for $20. The chlorine was $6-7 a gallon, yikes. Put 1/3 cup in my filter and noticed pressure rise. I am curious how this stuff can help a pool get even clearer. We will see. I do know I have enough to last a lifetime. I bumped my FC up...
