But when I pump it it's taking our water from the pool water as well...

Solid pool cover Hi, This is our first year with a pool. We covered our above ground pool up for the winter with a solid cover. It snowed a few weeks ago and now with some warmer weather here in NJ (in the 50s) we noticed a lot of water on our pool cover. We initially thought it was from the...

Hi, This is our first year with a pool. We covered our above ground pool up for the winter with a solid cover. It snowed a few weeks ago and now with some warmer weather here in NJ (in the 50s) we noticed a lot of water on our pool cover. We initially thought it was from the melting snow, so...

Thanks both for the advise

where did you buy the solid cover?>

Hi all, What do most use solid or mesh cover? Where do you buy to get it for best price? Thoughts on this one? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Blue-Wave-15-Year-28-ft-Round-Royal-Blue-Above-Ground-Winter-Pool-Cover-BWC910/203546759

and one thing I forgot to mentioned. I see a lot of small particles in the water...can't even get them with leaf skimmer. I get as much as I can... Can I put anything on the skimmer basket to capture those small particles? I added DE put clogs my sand filter fast- few minutes later low circulation

Hi all, Just want to know if I'm on track to clear water. And what I should do next. I have blue cloudy water...backwashing 4 times a day...running pump 24/7 Having hard time vacuuming because I can't see the bottom... FC 6 BR 5 CC 5 PH 6.8 CYA 0 TA 80 CH 350 thanks

No I'm new to all this. LOT OF LEARNING...but will get there..thanks for the feedback

Does anyone else have this issue. When sand filter in recirculation mode, water comes out of the waste valve.:confused:..and keep draining. Hence I can't use that mode because I will lose water....unless I use a plug for the waste valve.

Hi All! Happy 90 degree weather here in NJ today. Just slammed our pool last night. Water this morning looks like expected :D:D:D:D. Progress is on... Question- We purchased our home recently, and there was a bucket of chlorine left in the shed. Can it go bad? Looks OLD...but still have white...

Perfect. Thanks for the reinsurance. Didn't want to wait chemicals if this didn't help. Any other feedback from others?

Follow-up...I cleaned out as much of what I see.. There are these tiny debris floating around...can really scoop those out..filter still needs to be backwashed every 2-3 hours or will have low circulation Like I said above we don't live at the house, and are working most of the day, so no one...

Thanks. That s true I may be relying on the filter too much....will try to net out more
