    Is this all I need to backwash DE filter?

    Let's say the pool is covered in algae can I backwash constantly without adding DE, or would I need to add DE every single time? Or is it better to remove the filters and clean them every single time? Thank you

    What tools would you need to install a backwash hose?

    I have a 3" pipe, and I was wondering if just attaching the hose would be sufficient or is there something else I have to do? Also is it possible to convert it from 3" to 2" since I noticed those hoses are cheaper. Thank you

    Is this all I need to backwash DE filter?

    Just to be sure all I would need would be a 3" hose with a clamp to backwash?

    Recommended Vacuum for clay/fine dirt

    It picks it up but since the cable tangles it doesn't reach the whole set up. Right now a wheel is broken so it's out of service.

    Recommended Vacuum for clay/fine dirt

    My pool has those under water propellers that push water into the filter, but in some sections where it doesn't cover I end up with clay/fine dirt. I live somewhere where there is a lot of construction happening. I already tested for algae and everything is good. I know it's fine dirt, since I...

    I cant tell if this is Algae or Dirt

    I use the taylor kit k-2005 I didn't test CH before slamming I did like a month ago and it was in the 400s. TA was at 100 I forgot to mention the PH test was done before slamming. I have grass around but this dirt has persistent for almost 6 months but I always assumed it was just dirt

    I cant tell if this is Algae or Dirt

    I already started the slam process, but I can't tell it might be pollen, clay (our soil around us is mostly clay), or actual algae. I have tried backwashing, cleaning the filter, but it still comes back. I don't have a waste option so I'm thinking of buying a vacuum and see if that works. I...

    Can I use this bleach instead of liquid chlorine?

    It just states regular bleach concentrated. I would look more into the info. Thank you
