Thanks all. I just partially opened to add some chlorine and stir and I was wondering (my pool is green) can I hook up my pump and put it on circulate as opposed to filter to help keep the pool mixed until I open? Or do I need to clean it up before turned the pump on? I’d like to keep it...

I usually close sometime in October I have waited until late October early nov and it’s still been green You leave the pump in there all winter? I didn’t know if that would be a problem so I just do it manually I used to slam to close and it was still turning green so the last two years I...

Hello I live in New England water temps definitely get below where I’m told algae grows. In the spring each year my pool is always super green. I have been trying everything to prevent this but I can’t win. Closing late opening early. This year I added a slow release non chlorine shock float...

Hello - Wondering if i can keep my stenner pump on during a SLAM? I already have it at shock levels for my CYA level. and it is slowly clearing up fine with the DE trick (i do this every year). However, in reading the SLAM posting again, it says not to use your pumps, it says you want to...

I am not familiar with deep cleaning sand, but I did replace it at the beginning of 2021 season. I normally do the DE thing but admittedly forgot, I’ll get that going today. That has worked in prior years. Thanks

Hello - I opened my pool last weekend, it was pretty green but turned blue and cloudy within 24 hours of slamming. It has pretty much remained the same, its still quite cloudy. I can't get it to clear up so any tips would be appreciated. Here is my current levels. Wondering if i just keep...

Yeah we have pollen everywhere when I brush it it seems to make it’s way through the filter and back to the bottom the next day, I’ll wait it out and try vac to waste thanks.

I passed my OCLT last night with 0.0 loss. but that stuff is still settling below the jets. I have no idea what it is or what to do about it. My only thought is pollen that went through the sand filter and shot back into the pool and sank. Anyone have any ideas what it could be or what I...

I have substantially the same system as the original poster. As such I’m wondering what the hundred psi pumps are for? I thought I remember reading in a prior post that they had some benefit that the 25 psi pumps didn’t have possibly leak detection or something I don’t recall.

Is there any way to tell if this is algae or pollen? I have been slamming for a few days. Water mostly clear, still a few PPM OCLT loss. Spots like this are visible where the return flows settle mostly. But also on some steps I noticed.

Hello - Looking into buying a stenner pump, tank, etc, for my 21,000 gal inground vinyl pool. I have a hayward superpump SP2607Z1MTG. Any direction on what pump to get would be appreciated. Also tank type, connection method tips etc, all would be welcomed. Is it fine to have the tank...

Can you use robot cleaners to replace the brushing and vacuuming of a slam? if not in a murky green pool what about when it has improved to cloudy? just bought a warrior SE from marina due to the advice of this forum. Excited to get it
