Hi everyone, I am trying to determine if there is an issue with my pool since, yesterday, I measured Chlorine in the SWG and I got a reading of about 2-3 ppm. Last week, on Monday, I added salt to my pool since it had almost nothing left and no chlorine was being produced. I set the pump to...

Thank you very much @Texas Splash. The issue I have is that I have used flocculants for a few years now (always with the pump off or in Recirculation mode) but strangely enough I noticed last month that in Recirculation mode, water seems to get into the filter because the manometer rises to...

Hi @morzh thanks a lot for your answer. So basically, you open the lid, close it again and then turn on the pump as normal to remove the air in the filter, right ? Also how can bypass (or circulation) expel the air in the filter if the water cannot go inside due to the selector valve preventing...

@Texas Splash then to do Deep Clean, do I have to remove all the water and wait until the sand dries out, add a hose and wait for water to overflow ? (can I do a deep clean without having to remove water from the filter ?) Also what happens to the sand during Deep Clean ? It seems a lot will be...

Hi @Texas Splash , thanks a lot for your reply. I have attached a picture of my filter model. However, should I drain the water from the filter is that neccesary ? I'm worried the collectors at the bottom of the filter could get damaged. P.S. Would you mind to help me clear my doubts about the...

Hi everyone, I would like to take a look at the sand in my filter to see that everything is running ok and there are no chunks. Everywhere I've read online they say that sand should be changed as soon as you see sand chunks (tunnelling). However, the "Deep Cleaning a Sand Filter" sticky thread...

Hi everyone, I would like to open up the filter to take a look at the sand and see if its loosened or clumped together. If I remove the lid, should I remove the water to check the state of the sand ? Also how do I remove the air that will get in the filter once the lid is opened ? Once I close...

Hi everyone, My pool has green tiles but I don't see "tiles" as an option for pool type; I only see vinyl, plaster and fiberglass. Out of these 3 options, which one should I select that most resembles pool tiles ?

Hi, I downloaded Pool Math but I have seen no option to calculate the number of runtime hours ? Is there an option I'm missing or is there another way for me to find out ? I'm not closer to finding out how many hours I need to have my pump on. Also could someone explain me why water turnover is...

The problem I also have is that I have used Flocc in the past and I need to be sure that recirculation mode has not let some of the Flocc into the filter. Right now when I use my manual vacuum cleaner I can see a jet stream of dirt coming out from the pool inlet jets and I don't know if the...

Hi @PoolGate, following your advise, I have tried turning the screw on the top of the filter to let out any air in the filter. I turned the screw until water began making its way through the screw. I waited something like 10 minutes but the pressure gauge didn't go down at all. In that case it...

Hi thank you for the link @mknauss but the tutorial does not cover the situation were water leaks to the filter when in Recirculate mode. It doesn't make sense since, as you can see in the pictures above, the valve (joints, spring, etc.) is perfectly fine. Is there perhaps an MPV expert or...

Hi @mknauss yes I mean Re-circulation so the pressure of the water pressure gauge in my filter should go down to 0. But I have opened the MPV this morning and the joints all seem to be fine as you can see in the picture so I don't understand then what could be causing the pressure to go up in...
