    Thought I had it right... :(

    Woke up this morning to find it as clear as ever. I brought the chlorine up to about 15 and left the pump on. Weird it cleared up so fast, but I'm not complaining. Thanks for the help. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Is it safe to swim in? I know it's not if I bring the FC up that high Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Changing sand

    If there's no plumbing connected to the filter, then yes you're fine just a waiting game unless you want to try to suck out the wet sand. Just make sure when you disconnected the plumbing that either valves are closed or sealed well so the pool water won't leak out that way. Sent from my...

    Changing sand

    I don't think so. I think it's meant to be more for winterization where you leave it off the whole winter. It will probably take a while to drain that way. If you think it's that dirty maybe backwash it first Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Changing sand

    No fun! But if it has been a few years since you've changed sand you COULD change it since it's already out.

    Changing sand

    I agree with Tim, but if you must remove the sand best way is to drain all the water out and let the sand dry completely then vacuum out with a shop vac. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Need advice on a new cover

    I see.. I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by it sinking down into the water. Even if you don't have a pillow or barrel the cover should float on the waters surface until it rains then it would fill up and appear to be sinking. Unless you have a bunch of holes in the cover. I...
