In case anyone finds this thread in search - The pump is super easy if it's leaking out of the basket/inlet housing like mine was. Just run to the hardware store for a #99 O Ring (1 3/4" OD, 1 1/2" ID, 1/8" H). Was 99 cents at my Ace hardware. Take the top housing off (4 screws), remove the base...

thanks to you both - I was starting to think that gasket maker from the auto parts store may be my best/only option.

I have this filter setup https://www.amazon.com/Bestway-Flowclear-1500gal-Sand-Filter/dp/B07M6ZDNNL/ and it's leaking like crazy out of the pump housing and water is always coming out of the drain port of the sand filter. Does anyone know where I can get new gaskets to rebuild them?

Thanks, I have vacuumed it to waste a couple times and it keeps coming back...I'll keep it up and see if It eventually stops

Yes, water was clear, zero CC and no chlorine drop overnight....and, my current chlorine levels are WAY above even SLAM. I am sitting at 55 CYA and 31 FC (down from 35 yesterday).

So we SLAMMed, brought it up to 35 for 24 hours for a mustard shock, and now that the chlorine is back down to 32 the algae (or whatever this garbage is) is starting to grow along the bottom again.

Last time we checked here's where we were FC - 9.5 (Still coming down from SLAM) CC - .5 pH - 7.3 (Pre-SLAM value) TA - 60 CH - 325 CYA - 50 I am going to test again tonight before re-SLAMMING

ok thanks, I will give that a shot. We've already SLAMd 2-3 times, but didn't go to the super high chlorine level after passing the overnight test. Will try that this time.

I've been in a constant struggle since my first algae bloom. Our numbers are great, but if I brush the pool regularly it's cloudy and if I don't the bottom starts to look like this in a few days.

Thanks everyone! SLAMMING it today!

Here's where we are at levels wise (6k gallon above ground with salt generator) FC - 5.5 CC - .5 TA - 80 CH - 325 CYA - 50 Ph - 7.9 I had been fighting high Ph and TA for a couple weeks and were starting to get that under control. I have been unable to tend to the pool this week, but the...
