    Deep clean sand filter, pool is full.

    As of tonight the fc is right on target for regular slam again, the ph is low but i know that's not accurate with slam chlorine. With the tuned-up filter i think things will improve! Tomorrow we tackle the stairs.

    We did it! Everything went fine, laterals looked great, so that is reassuring. It's all hooked back up and filtering overnight. The shop vac was a great suggestion, and we put in all new sand since ours had some parts that seemed very gummy/slimy with filmy sheets, so i think perhaps someone...

    Thank you, once we get the pool clean and balanced we have a salt water generator just waiting to be hooked up plus a pool heater, so we are planning to go hard plumbing then. I will for sure post our diagram for double checking here when we get to that point, thank you!

    Hello! My pool is staying cloudy for weeks, and it is going to be very hot coming up so i want to get it all in order asap. Backstory: The pool cover got lost in the late fall and we thought: how bad can it be, we always end up dumping the leaves off the cover anyways?.... But it got so full of...
