Thank you...we will try to push it back.... I thought it stuck out on both side last year. Would we only need that part to stop the leaking or the whole thing that sits on top of the sand filter

Are multiport valve has been limping along the last couple of years it was a little finicky about exactly where it wanted to be without leaking but this year I'm afraid it's a total loss. As you can see in the picture one of the little metal prongs that keeps it in place is now missing and the...

Ok... a couple of weeks ago I was battling the pool trying to get it clear. I ended up ordering new testing chemicals as mine were old/used up completely. When I got the new testing supplies my CYA was 75-ish. I did the test at least twice because this was signicantly up from my prior tests...

Yes... we did... there were still some 'bits' coming out the top while washing but overall the dirty water cleared up and the amount of 'bits' decreased by probably 75% or more before we had to close it back up... but just thinking we might need to do it a bit more? I'll try to grab a pic but...

Ok... here is where we are.... Pool looks a little better every day but still cloudy. We can now easily see the bottom where we are standing at least but not in the middle/other side of the pool...but can see 'items' like the vaccuum and such if they are across the pool. I FINALLY got my...

Thanks... I cleaned the tube with some alcohol and I have refill set of chemicals ordered along with a new chlorine tube. Just hoping to make some progress before our party this weekend! UGH!

Steps have been out since November

It's been a while since I've posted as we've usually had good luck with the TFP methods for the last 7yrs.. This year we have been at it for 4 weeks or more now and at a near total standstill for a week or more. I work 12hr shifts so getting started it always hard as there are days that I...

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you mean after adding the muriatic acid I should wait to see what TA is?
