Sorry for delaying my reply. I have good news. I run my pump at speed 4 for 3 hours every morning then it goes back to lower speeds for 5 hours and my pool is looking clear as clear can get. It took a few days to get all the sediment kicked up and into the filters but it's looking really good...

Any other suggestions from anyone? All my chem levels are great (posted above) and the water isn't crystal clear, I would say its about 80% clear. I had some leaves on the bottom of the pool today so I went ahead and swept them up and in doing that, a cloud formed in the water right where my net...

I did OCLT and it stayed the same - 6. My guess is now that with the infloor system that the poo is not getting properly cleaned. So I will run the pump on higher speeds for longer periods. I may get a pool vacuum as well to keep anything from building up on the bottom.....

For some reason the browser is not letting me upload pics. The brand of the infloor pop up heads are "Caretaker 99". Ok on brushing once a week. When I do brush it is noticeable that it's been brushed as it kicks up a brownish cloudy substance.

You asked for my test results in regards to the buildup and me brushing 1-2 a week. You had wondered about if there was beginning to be a algae buildup..... etc.. So I guess my question is, is this normal (brushing 1-2 a week and it doesn't take much for buildup) or am I missing something?

ok thanks. Let me know if you have any suggestions on the other issue as well. Thanks!

Ok thank for info. Long enough at high speed would be 1 hour? 2 hour? more a day? any recommendations? FC - The lowest it's been is 4.5 and the highest is 7.5, it's been in that range for at least 3-4 months

:) no manual, but thanks to google.

Ah...that's what it's called - In Floor system. So should I be looking at a pool sweeper setup at some point? Test results: FC - 5.5 CC - 0 CH - 325 TA - 110 PH - 7.5 CYA - 50

I have recently cleaned my filters, all my chem levels are great and in the range recommended. Yet it seems that after about 3-4 days there is a little brownish/greenish buildup in the surfaces of the pool. So I've been brushing the pool 1-2 times a week. I guess my question is am I missing...

I have cleaned my filters and am wondering how much DE do I need to put in?

How many hours a day should I be running my pool pump? The temps are about to climb into summer weather which is 95-115 for the next few months.

Of thanks everyone for the input. So at this point do you recommend me keeping the old filter in or just remove it? It appears that my set up allows me to completely bypass this filter. If that is case, I would gather that would be best and not even bother with this thing?? Thanks eric

I bought home 4 months ago and I have one of these on my pool and getting ready to replace cartridge. I'm curious do these really work well? The box on the cartridge claims to "reduce chlorine use to just 0.5 ppm", has anyone used these and seen this to be true? It would be great to hear from...
