Ya I am not sure, they must have really had to force it on to get it to look like that! It is the original pipe. Thanks for the tip with the bleach!

I found an online manual and it does not give a depth. We found a YouTube video on the installation of the S-220-T and the pipe certainly does not look like our pipe. We may just leave it until Monday and go to the pool company that installed it and get their opinion. It doesn't make sense to...

Lol....I thought so! :p My hubby did get the pipe off but it took a lot of work due to how far the pipe was inserted in the head. We know now why it was hard to get off.....his hand shows how far it was inserted into the head (over 4 inches) and the damage that was done to the pipe when the...

Hello all! We decided to give our pump a deep clean,the pool is 8 years old and we have never done it. When we removed the head the standpipe was still connected to the head and now has become dislodged in the sand with the laterals still attached. Is there anyway we can straighten the...

Thanks a bunch!

Good day everyone. I was hoping I could get some help with my pool. The water is clear but there is what I presume to be algae collecting on the bottom, sides and in the seams. It is greenie/brown in colour and when I sweep it, it mushrooms. My levels tested by my K-2006 kit are FC 6 CC 0...

Your pool and mine could be twins!! I am going thru the same exact issues. Please let me know how the things look once you add the sequestrant. I plan on getting some today!!

Day 19........no real change, I really thought I would have had the algae under control by now, I have been keeping the Shock Level at 25 during the day and up to 30 at night. There is still a green tinge and the algae just keeps coming back. When I backwash I let it run till clear(anywhere...

I just tested the CYA and its at 50. That's low for a SWG but we're not using it yet and haven't added any salt so should I keep it at 50? I will get my DH to remove the light tonight and give it a swish and a scrub. Will recheck FC in a hour or so.

Day 16........pool still has a green tinge, algae "pooling" in shallow end and along seams. This morning was by far the most. It almost seems as if I am not keeping ahead of it. I am keeping the pool at a shock level of 25. It's getting frustrating the weather has been warm and we can't use...

Thanks!!

Thanks RobbieH, I needed that!! i am thinking of adding some DE, where does one buy it?

Day 11..........testing the pool daily. It's still green, although if I look closely I can see the drain in the deep end. My last 2 tests Last night FC 21(added 4 L) CC 1 This a.m FC 16 CC 1 So far I am no where near the OCLT........

new levels tonight- FC 18 CC 2 It was humid and sunny today. I'm adding 7 L to get it back to shock levels.
