    Lots of air in return line (video) need advice

    Hello, looking for some more incite on an air problem I'm having with my system. Towards the end of the season last year, I was getting a lot of small air bubbles from from first in line return jet. This year upon opening the pool, it has gotten worse. I've had a hard time getting the pump to...

    PH Testing

    Maybe a dumb question, maybe not. I do the Taylor drop test for my PH in the small tester that does both PH and Chlorine. My question is, after adding the 5 drops, do you simply invert the container a couple times or shake to mix? Simple invert, my PH is high, shake to mix, PH is around 7.6-7.8.

    Algae, pollen, filter?

    Algae, pollen, filter?

    I believe that the pressure gauge is working properly. It rises when adding the DE. If I don't add the DE, its seems as though pressure doesn't rise when filtering. If I backwash, the sight glass is very green even without the pressure raising the 25%. I was adding testing FC every couple hours...

    Algae, pollen, filter?

    Gonna be kind of long one, but here goes. Around two weeks ago, I thought for sure I was dealing with pollen in the pool. Water was still pretty clear but the bottom of the pool was dirty/greenish yellow. I was able to get almost completely cleaned up with the combo of filter socks and adding...
