I haven't been out to get Chlorine yet, but to be clear, I have met the three conditions for SLAM exit: CC is 0.5 or lower - Measures 0 in eve and morning AND you pass an OCLT (i.e. overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less) - FC is still climbing as I still have SWG set to super...

Update - while in process of getting my CYA up to 30 as I ready a SLAM my pool water cleared up quickly - it's crystal clear now. Filter is full (of algae) again, but wow. CYA = 30, FC = 7.5 / CC = 0 - tested again this AM same, no drop. So... I'm thinking we're good on skipping SLAM, jump...

Thanks guys - Looks like I need to do some adjustments prior to SLAM as the FC is lower than this am. FC=2, CC=0.5, pH=7.1, TA=80, CH=250, CYA<20

My Pentair Quad DE 60 Pool Filter keeps clogging up. We've had to travel numerous times and always come back to a green pool. This spring has been bad. I've backwashed very frequently and pushed the Hayward Salt Water Generator (AquaRite 900) up to super chlorinate, but still ends up green...

Great video here on process: Bought a gasket kit from local store, had a bunch (but not all!) of the gaskets needed. Will chime in once complete, believe it was the seal plate gasket.

Having to refill pool every few days - it is very hot as well so there's that factor. Anyone have other troubleshooting tips - or link to a former question.

My pool pump is leaking when it's running but it's been difficult to really see where it's leaking. I've pulled it apart and checked the gasket which is in quite good shape (I replaced about a year ago) and re-lubed it, reassembled, but same leak. Pool starts up with air in line and takes a...

Thanks - found a couple of options near my dimension, will try out!

borjis, My Pentair skimmer has mounting to the bracket as shown in the diagram. Are you saying there are aftermarket weirs with spring load tension mounts on the sides? If so, can you provide a link (for your size door.) My door is 8 7/16" wide and 5 1/4" tall.

I have a Pentair skimmer door that gets jammed as one of the screws holding the bracket has broken off. I took a peek and both screws holding the bracket, which in turn holds the skimmer door are totally rusted. I tried using a stubby screwdriver to take out the one left in place but it's...

Thanks Valve (E) actuator not operating properly. It's an Intermatic SPE24VA. Whereas the return valve (B) seems to be the orignal compool. I pulled apart the intermatic and it's not the switches and seems to be the gearing which does not seem to be accessible. I've just ordered a Hayward...
