So, my first year of pool-ownership comes to an end on a green note. I fought algae and won at the beginning of the year and worked very hard to keep the water balanced, but the pool ended up looking a big green around the gills before we drained it for the year.
I want next year to be better, of course. The pool is a 6400-gallon, Intex, Metal-framed pool. I used the filter that came with the pool – Krystal Clear. When I tested the water in the last days of my pool, I found very little decrease in the FC levels and the pool had no odor. Also, shocking the pool had little to no affect on the clarity/color of the pool. There was sand/silt at the bottom of the pool after draining. Here are my questions:
1. Can anyone suggest a pump/filter that would work really well with my Intex pool?
2. Can anyone suggest a vacuum system that works well with my Intex pool?
3. And, finally, would it be better to invest in a good vacuum and brush/vacuum more often or would it be better to upgrade my pump?
On a last note, has anyone tried these Bio Diesel filter bags in their pool? http://www.filterbag.com/BioDiesel-Filtration-17.html
Thanks for your help.
