Hello! I’m helping a friend begin to maintain her own pool. She has a Pentair clean and clear 320 filter. I have a sand so some things I’m unsure of. The opening was hard as she had a temp cover so it was swamp like! It was opened by a pool company this year. We are still working on the water...

Anyone have any advice for this? I’m having the same issue. The wing nut broke the bolt is stripped and this plug isn’t moving. I’ve tried pliers but it doesn’t budge.

I will attempt to purchase another next pay. However I made the mistake of buying several products in a bundle from Leslie’s before finding this site. So while I have several products I don’t have what I need to test correctly. Very frustrating I really appreciate your time though any guidance...

Unfortunately I cannot go out and spend any more money on a kit. Im assuming that what you are saying is this forum can no longer assist me. However, I do appreciate you taking the time out to help me. I apologize for your time spent

Yesterday I also took a water sample and they advised me to put in two scoops of shock ( I bought a bundle) would that be considered beginning the SLAM process? I then vacuumed the pool and too kthe sample today which is when I did the alkaline up etc. Should I SLAM it again?

:eek::eek::eek: So a very wise friend of mine sent me to this website ? I recently bought a home with a pool and am learning along the way. The pool was opened last week 5 gallons of chlorine were added to the pool. And I was told leave the pump on and it should clear. A week and several...
