    how to dispose of zeolite filter media?

    Just a quick update, I don't have the pool chemicals levels from last season. I haven't opened the pool yet this season. I had posted the question, because if I needed to change the sand, It would make most sense to do it before opening the pool. I did the deep cleaning that was posted. We'll...

    how to dispose of zeolite filter media?

    its 5 years old zeo-clear. Pool chemistry was fine and could not get it clear. This included myself testing the water, as well as taking it to the a pool supply store to make sure. Tried using 10% water salt solution as well as zeosand cleaner, but no change. cant think of anything else

    Approximately two-year-old tork 1101B pool timer not working

    Hi, just opened up my pool and realize that the pool timer was not turning the filter on and off. It visually looks fine, the trippers go to the switch but never actually TripIt. I can turn the electricity on and off manually without an issue. The gears behind the dial look fine. The timer wheel...

    How to clean moss and algie stains from carpeted side deck

    So I opened up my pool and the side deck, which is carpeted gray, has some staining on it. What's the best way to clean this? Recommended products? I'm assuming a limited amount of products would b ok to use since you gotta be careful with getting whatever you use getting in the pool. Thx

    Leak where the valve sits on the filter. New filter. What did I do wrong?

    What I can think of, is that I lubricated where the o ring meets the valve, but not where the valve sits on the filter. Could that of been my mistake? It's on both sides where the clamp is tightened by the screw Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
