    Do I need a acid wash?

    Pool was a swamp, I decided drain it and start over. Do these white areas need to be completely removed before refill? I pressure washed it. It's pebble tech

    VS pump speed

    I'm going to keep dropping 5% every 15 minutes until I get to 40% speed and see how it reacts and report back When I reach 40% I'll take a photo and show vs 90%

    VS pump speed

    I'm curious, I upgraded my pool equipment from a single speed to a VS (my signature is up to date) and added a salt system. I was under the impression that the point of a VS pump was to run as low as possible speed wise? With a freshly cleaned filter and pump at 90% speed I have 99.9 no bubbles...

    Makes sense, ordering the retrofit screen, thanks for the advice!

    Finally upgraded!

    It came with unions but the jandy unions work with the Intelliflo. I'll lube the inlet, outlet and basket rings and I should be good to go

    Finally upgraded!

    I do not have the screen, the pump has an antenna. Is it worth it to get the screen?

    Manifold grease

    Edit - grease around the holes that go into the blue part of the cartridges themselves

    Manifold grease

    On a pentair 520 cartridge filter, is it a good idea to put grease on the top black manifold under the lid?

    How much to drain?

    43K non salt pool, CYA is at 108. % to drain to get to acceptable range?

    Getting started with salt

    I will be eliminating my D.E filter for a cartridge filter, Because that means re-doing plumbing I was thinking about adding a salt cell. Since the pandemic chlorine has been sold out 95% of the time so that sucks but at the same time it would be nice to have a more or less "maintenance free"...
