Thanks ned8377! It worked perfectly:whoot:

Ok great! Thanks.... I will try it first thing tomorrow:cool:

Hi all :wave: I have an Aquarite SWG that seems to have switched over to Celsius for water temp. & a decimal for the salt reading? If I did it..... I don't know how I did! But, does anyone know how to switch it back to "normal"..... something I can understand lol!! Thanks, I appreciate it...

Sorry Kim, I didn't see your post! I never did get to speak to customer service.... each time I tried there was a recording that said "your wait time is over 15 mins we suggest you use our website at...." I did use all the pictures & specs on the site though to figure out which filter I have :p...

Reporting back with the happy ending to my latest "learning experience" :study: First of all, the idea to bump up my FC a little & run the pool on recirculate for a couple of days until I got the people & parts to fix the sand filter worked really well:goodjob: Since the sand was out & I had...

Thanks so much Kim!! I'm on it!!

Okay.... So I continue on my learning journey:study: Help arrived at last & we removed the sand & lateral assembly.... very bad news here. It looks as though 7 out of the 8 laterals are broken where they twist into the assembly. (Mine don't fold up, they twist in and they were all packed with...

That's definitely the plan. I will empty the filter and post pics of what I find. Do you think that the idea to run the filter on recirculate will work to "hold" things until I get more help? Or should I just keep filtering as normal & catch the debris in stockings? I don't want to mess up my...

Anybody?? Suggestions? Am I on the right track... Is using recirculate okay to hold over until help arrives?? Thanks

Ok so there is good news and very bad news to report this morning...... The good news: my son came down this weekend and deep cleaned the sand filter according to Smykowski's great step by step videos. It was pouring down rain for most of the day so not the best quality Mother/Son time! We kept...

Thanks Duraleigh, but that is sand under the return. I rubberband a nylon stocking over it to make sure. I finished my SLAM a few days ago, the sand coming through the return jets is a new development since then. Here is the complete set of results you asked for: FC 4.5 CC 0 pH 7.5 CH...

This is only my 2nd season with TFP and I have had a very quick & successful opening:lovetfp: My pool was sparkly clear & perfectly balanced and then I noticed a few specks of something in the bottom!! So I got out the vacuum immediately.... yes, I'm getting OCD about my beautiful pool! So, I...

I have been having the same problem with my cylinder & powder from last year! I read through another thread that recommended filling the cylinder with bleach, let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse with water & dry with a paper towel. It worked, but the staining (mine looks really dark...

Here is a pic of how much sand & stuff is being spit back into the pool from just one of the return jets. My son is coming on Saturday to help me deep clean the sand filter.... I pray that fixes the problem!!! - - - Updated - - -

Should I be running the booster pump along with the main pump whenever it's on?
