Hi. The footing under my pump rusted out. I think I’ll be buying a new one. Please recommend which one. Above ground pool, 10,000 gal, Cartridge filter -Hayward C550, 50 ft2, 70gpm

Hello, I am still struggling with the dead algae. It has been so frustrating. I am working during the day and can’t monitor the FC during the day. The dead algae (which is black in color) keeps coming back. I vacuum it out at night and brush with no results. I maintained the chlorine level...

Hi. I am about to replace top plates on my above ground pool. The old ones got rusted. Is there a product that you can recommend to put/spray on the new plates to prevent or slow down the rusting in the future? Thank you

That what I was thinking also. Nothing in that filter that can go wrong. Just wanted to reassure myself. Thanks you all.

I thought of that as well and changed the gauge. The stream from the return line is the same strength doesn't go down. I also installed a brand new cartridge in the beginning of the summer.

Hi all, I have a Hayward EasyClear cartridge filter with 1HP pump. The pressure is constant 15 PSI and doesn't go up for two months now. Water is coming out of the return line pretty strongly and it doesn't change. It wasn't like that the first year or so when I first installed this filter. Is...

That's great. Congrats!!

Hi. The dead algae, keeps coming back. I got it to a point that it was very minimal and decided to stop. I want my kid to have a pool with all this social distancing. The dead algae have gotten more, the water is clear though. I might resume the SLAM in the future.

Yes, I am almost at that point. My 11 year old is itching to go to the pool. I'll give it 2 more days...

I was keeping chlorine at Slam level for about 4-5 days. I than got busy with work and was not able to check it as often but was adding liquid 10% chlorine from time to time. No I am running very low on chlorine testing reagent. The new one will only come on Monday. Maybe my filter is not...

By "my pool is empty now" i meant there is nothing in there but water:)

The pool is empty now, the stairs are out of the pool at the moment. It is above ground pool. The only things that connected are soft hoses going from skimmer to filter, SWG and back to the pool. I can't think anything where algae would hide. Could chlorine at this level for so long ruin the...

I am out or chlorine testing reagent. I have to wait till Monday to get a refill. Any advice what to do meanwhile?

Yes, I vacuum every day and it shows back up in the next few hours.

Last one was 2.5 ppm
