another update, a few hours after cleaning the cartridge filter, the pool is now crystal clear!!!

Look much better this morning, although there is a slight green tinge. Pool filter was disgustingly green. Went to Leslies and they said my CYA was 40 but phosphates are at 500. Not sure how reliable that last number is right now since I added 4 gallons of 10% bleach. They also had Taylor CYA...

Pool cover brought the pool temp to over 90F in Las Vegas and I wasn't paying attention to chlorine levels. Take the cover off today and I decided to run the dolphin pool cleaner, sure enough the whole pool turns green. There was plenty of algae (or whatever) on the bottom already, but it just...

Do they store it outside in the garden area? If so, I would think that is bad for bleach (exposed to hot weather)

I never buy bleach from Home Depot. They store it outside in the Garden Center where it gets very hot.

I put in a pool sock a few days ago, works really well. Hopefully that helps solve things

I don't know if they're breeding in there or what, but it seems like their preferred choice of residence What the heck are these things and how do I get rid of them? I will try to take a photo later with a half decent camera They appeared a few weeks back with all the pollen

That enclosure is awesome... How do I build one like that? Recently bought the $300 deal on Amazon, and will definitely be putting foamboard for insulation and would love to build that enclosure if I can

jets are working, i guess it may have been a change caused by: either the new pump, the cold weather, or the eyes are all pointing down?... i did the hand test and i felt a strong stream... just couldn't see the stream like it was before removed the o-ring from the filter, cleaned it with a wet...

No manual for the filter, it is really old, I haven't changed the position of the o ring, since I had never taken it out Pressure is correct at 10psi (same as before I mean), water does come shooting out when the air relief valve is open Pool pump was not running for the past two days and we...

Do I need to lubricate the o ring after cleaning, I just want to test it out.... Any stuff home depot sells that will work, I see I'm not supposed to use petroleum based lube

Filter pic added, I'm going to try remove the rubber o-ring and clean it I don't see any other valves?

Just had a new pump installed but before I did, I cleaned the cartridge and put it back in.... For some reason it didn't feel right going back in, like I had to force it some more and it feels like not quite right when I attempt to reinstall, and now it's leaking Leak is more like a slow drip...

yeah i took a risk buying a used pump from ebay, hopefully i can get my money back. if not it will be a lesson well learned thank you for all the help, glad that there are very knowledgable people on this forum

here are pics of the wiring wiring1.jpg - Google Drive wiring2.jpg - Google Drive i just noticed the thick external ground wire isn't connected to the pump, i guess that's the reason it's not working... update, connected that, still no change
