hellow, I'm having a probleme with my pump. I'm guessing it sucked some air, and i can't seem to get it out :s, it simply isn't getting water, or there isn't any coming out. can anyone help me? I've tried to unscrew the 2 valves on top of it (1 for the filter, and 1 for the actual pump) but it...

voila, so maybe now there is someone who can help me? :=)

nvm, i did some math, and it seemed to be 6%bleach, so i just added some. it was a little yellowish, so i hope that wont give any troubles, but i cba anymore. so now i need some help on buying a decent test kid. i'd like the one offerd by the site, but it seems that it only ships to places in...

while searching for bleach at home, i found this: a jar of Sodium hypochlorite. 150g/l active chlorite can i use this to add some fc to my pool? or is it hazardous? any advice would be appreciated :)

and how can i figure out what my cya level is?

ok, so a couple of days ago i bought a big bag of salt tablets, and i'm having some probleme with them, especially with dosage. i add the the amount i should be, measured with the cup that goes with the system, but its never rly right. sometimes it works when i add just a little more, sometimes...

thank you very much :)

hehe, i don't rly get what you mean with the telescope? :p I have an intex swg, where i need to add 1kg of salt in a container with water. i think the salt needs to be rather small for that, no? or well it work just fine if i mix it up once and a while?

Yesterday i went to the store, and found some salt (99.8%) in large bags (25kg) used for water dehardning (dunno if this is the right translation :p) the only probleme is that the chunks are rather big, would it be a probleme if i smash em to tiny pieces?

what type of salt should it be? NaCl? of with something else then Na? and as i don't live in the us, i don't think i'll finde those brands of salt. any advice? i've seen the 99,4%+ and no additives, any thing else i should look after?

can you explain what the difference is between cleaning your filter and backwashing it?

dunno of this works, but try this: put one end of a hose in the pool, the other in a lower part of the garden. Now you need to suck on the hose (the side outside the pool) untill water starts running, normaly, the water will drain. i'm not sure if this is fast enough though.
