Thanks and I'll take a look at them. Also, I looked at your pictures of your construction project. Nice job, it turned out nice!

I just went and timed the ping pong ball at it took 3:30 to make it around that 18' circle.

I will have to try the pool float test as I've only used a ping pong ball in the past, however best that I can recall it seemed to take a couple of minutes to go around that 18' diameter which seemed slow to me. I'm assuming the 2-speed pump has several factors that makes it a good choice...

I'm going to be replacing my current pump (see signature below for my complete setup) in hopes of getting better filtration for my 18x52 above ground pool. Due to it only having one skimmer and one return I feel as if I need to increase my hp as my return doesn't move my water (in my uninformed...

Thanks Richard for confirming my beliefs. I will continue to keep my FC up at shock level and maintain my routine and see if my clarity improves even more. It has improved since I began this back on April 10th but not as quickly as I thought it should have. If it doesn't improve soon then I...

DE Question A week or so ago I had a post which i can no longer find in here (my guess is it was deleted due to inactivity on my part) regarding cloudy water and my CYA level. Over the past few days I have added approximately 1 cup of DE each time to raise my pressure 1 psi (normal 5 psi)...

Thanks Pat & Dave ! i will try and pick up the correct type of DE over the weekend and update my post once I have it working

Sounds like a plan Pat. I am just coming in from outside and inspecting my fittings as I wasn't sure about my pressure reading being low. I believe I hear air coming out of the waste port (with the pump off) and still in the filter mode. Spider gasket perhaps? It's not much air however it does...

Pat, Thanks for the reply and for clarification, I've backwashed several times since beginning this process. Since my normal pressure is around 6 psi I backwash once my pressure rises 3 psi or more. I have a slightly larger flex pipe than was on my system last year due to relocating the pump...

This may seem very basic, but I too recall my confusion when I first used the poolmath app. As was stated above by smforte be sure that you have your numbers correct in the proper columns along with the proper profile (gallons, type and % of chemical (bleach). Don't forget to hit the...

I'm back with an update and still seeking POP (pool owner patience). It's been yet another week and my water still isn't clear and I'm just trying to make certain that I've done everything that I should do to get this problem corrected. As a recap, since raising my FC to 28 and maintaining it...
