I verified the that the DE filter I have is a Hayward Micro-clear 48 sqft. From what I've read all of the micro-clear's have the same bottom, which is why it was labeled 2400. Since I'm selling the home soon I didn't want to spend money/time on a brand new unit. I was able to find a...

While taking the filter apart I found "De-2400-z-10" on one of the labels. I assume that means it's a 24 sqft DE filter, which is odd since that seems small for a 21k gallon pool.

Yep the entire system should be re-done, I had grand plans for it but I'm also planning on selling the house so that'll be someone else's grand plans soon. Yeah, I thought about the same thing when I noticed the crack. I'll probably just turn off the pump for now. The FC is already on the...

So I found this really weird pool while browsing for homes on Zillow. Why would you even want a plant in the middle of your pool like that? Also, who thought of that? So many questions. What do you think?

typically glass is advised against near the pool so you might have a difficult time finding a glass one. However the ones made by Taylor fit well and don't have black lines that disappear. The Taylor vials have the markings etched into them; I'd recommend checking out those.
