I having a hard time finding 1hp duel speed. 1.5 duel speed sure but not a 1hp. If I go for the 1.5 duel would that be too much?

would th 16" sand filter be ok or do I need a bigger one?

I have a 22x52 about round pool. My pump exploded during the Texas freeze and I need to quickly buy a new pump fast. I have a 16" sand filter. I want to purchase an Hayward 1.5 Hp pump. Do I need a larger sand filter too or would 1 HP be a better choice? I have searched but can not find a...

Thank you for the advice. I will read those threads today. We are going to vacuum to waste again today. Then I believe it is time to clean the sand in the filter. Then see if Lowes has DE. Thank you. I swear we've used at least 30+gallons of 10% pool chlorine. Oh and yes my husband just told...

I have a Intex Krystal Clear 16-inch Sand Filter Pump 3000 gph. Hmmm. I updated my sig before I posted. It stays at 10 psi at all times unless it needs a backwah. I backwash when I see that its not pushing anything back into the pool bc I read that a dirty sand filter catches more on another...

I've been shocking my pool for over a month. It was a black mess. Now it is clearish - slightly cloudy and I can not get past this stage. It has been about 2 weeks at slighty cloudy blue. The FC is staying fine over night with no loss or less than 1. Per pool math app 26 is my shock. Per CYA...

I hate not having crystal clear sparkling water and not knowing why

I'm working on the upgrade later thissummer. Not sure what size to get so I am in research mode. I'll search for that thread. I used to use unicell but noticed I had very little pressure out of the return. Right now I'm using a generic from walmart.

No on the sand filter I have a 2650 gal/hr Intex Krystal Clear Pump- Type B Filter.

I slammed my pool for 2 weeks. I passed the over night test the last 4 of those days. Slam says to keep going until water is clear but we had company coming that weekend and since I passed the over night test so many times I stopped. Two weeks after slam water is still slightly cloudy, still...

Got it. So i'm staying with the 31 shock level per chem 201 and Intex''s 10421 for pool volume . I thought that the pool calculator was a tfp website. I've updated my bookmarks to pool math. Thanks! Deb

Good Morning Everyone, My SWG pool turned green and I am in the process of slamming the pool. Someone jumped my fence and turned off both my pump and swg (this has happened 2x this summer). I didn't notice this because I had just had some biopsies done and didn't check my pool for 3 days...
