Great. I’ll do that. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply! Crud, my signature wasn’t updated. I thought it was 🤦‍♂️ Must not have hit save. Long story short, I have a cartridge filter now: Pentair Clean&Clear+ (CCP420; Cartridge). I’ve only ever had a sand filter before this, so that’s part of why I’m puzzled.

Opened the pool a few weeks ago. Slammed and scrubbed thoroughly. Successfully passed the OCLT test multiple days in a row at SLAM levels. Scrubbed again. Balanced all chemicals and brought the FC to normal levels. The water continues to be hazy after a week of 24/7 pump running. I performed...

…and does that location of that valve make a difference? Would it get more pressure if I moved it?

Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines. How much is a booster pump? Is there anything cheap or energy friendly I could run?

Jim, yes it was single. No I didn’t expect that. As you can see from my OP, I at least expected when I ran the VS pump full speed it would at least push enough water to make it up the slide hose vertical climb. Why do you ask? Any suggestions?

Yes, thanks. Yup, it was off in the photo. Do these photos work?

We installed a new pump and filter. This required re-plumbing as well. The pump is no longer putting out enough pressure to move water up the slide line. Previously, my Hayward one and a half horsepower pump put out plenty of pressure for the slide. Photos attached. The green line is the slide...

Thanks much for the response. I will be switching to a variable speed pump, and I'm excited about that. I am a bit worried about our cottonwood issues. The skimmer socks catch quite a bit of it, but not all...I wonder if that would be a problem. Thanks again.

My Hayward S200 sand filter is dead (Big crack). I've read a lot of forum posts and watched some videos, but just wanting to double check with my specific info in mind: I live in Minnesota. We're open, at most, 5 months. There is a lot of pollen, significant cottonwood cotton. Lots of leaves...
