Thanks all. I will try that

Hello, all, I’m having an odd issue that I’m at witts end with…when I release some of the water from the pressure valve at the top of the filter, I’m not get the strong gush of water out that I usually get. I’m trying to trouble shoot what the problem could be and thought to ask here as...

As am I. I don’t understand why OCLT shows no significant loss. Now, I’ve never had algae before but I do feel confident it’s algae because 1. It’s green and sticks to the walls. 2. The entire pool was covered so pollen seems like a non issue.

Yes, swimming I understood although I think I’d rather not. It was the cover I was questioning. I have my cover covering the entire pool with no exposed water whatsoever.

I can SLAM with cover on? I was under the impression that was a no no

Thanks. Might just end up tossing it. It’s fairly new but rather large. I don’t have an area where I can open it up to do the scrubbing.

Yup, it was on prior to leaving. I have always removed cover during the day to help heat up the pool. It’s been on for the last month or so. How would i go about decontaminating the cover?

Thank you. My FC never dropped. That’s the thing that’s got me puzzled.

Hello to all. So I follow TFP religiously. Suddenly I have a large algae problem and would like some input. I left out of town for three days and prior to leaving, pool was crystal and great. Upon coming back, algae was evident. I do use a solar cover and it was covered the entire time gone. I...

Thanks for the reply. Vacuum is only a few months old. Hard to believe it’s the skirts. I’ve tried the weight placements in different areas to no avail. It’s definitely something with the vacuum itself because if I disconnect all hoses and place just the vacuum in, the back wheels float up. Just...

No, I haven’t resolved the issue. I’ve succumbed to manually vacuuming every week.

I have not. We’ve got a bit of rain coming so I’ll have to wait. However, I have gone as far as removing all hoses except the hose coming out of cleaner and putting the cleaner in the pool as such-no hoses attached except the one coming from cleaner and the back wheels still float up! I just...

Yes. Same hose. This only started to happen recently. Everything is as it was when it was working well. I’m not sure what’s causing back wheels to float.

Yes. It’s straight.

I’ve tried them closer. Farther. Nothing. Cleaner keeps tilting forward
