    Installing new standpipe and multiport valve sand filter

    Thank you for the reply! Old sand is in buckets anyways so I don’t know the accurate weight of the “old” sand. (It was only used for like 4 months). But someone else said to fill it 2/3 of the way up.

    Installing new standpipe and multiport valve sand filter

    Thank you for the help! Standpipe never came today, hopefully tomorrow! I’ll let everyone know how it goes or if I have any questions!

    Installing new standpipe and multiport valve sand filter

    I spent about 2 weeks slamming my pool. It turned it from dark dark green to blue. Although it was blue it was very cloudy the whole time. I ended up switching out a new multiport valve because it was leaking to waste when running and the pressure gauge was broken. (Yes, I know I could have...

Wasn’t sure if that was the problem or something else. Do you think I just need more bleach for now while I SLAM based on my other numbers? Thank you!

    Testing water myself now. HELP

    Hey! Been adding liquid bleach over the last couple days. The more I brush the greener it gets but the bleach brings it back to a lighter green. FC 3.6 CC 3.0 pH 7.0 (3 drops of R0006 brought it to 7.4 so pH is no longer super high) TA 180 ppm CH 170 ppm CYA for CYA the test reads up to 30. I...
