Understood, but again I was only backwashing when the pressure went WAY up, not because it was the fashionable thing to do. Believe me I'd not want to touch the thing for months if possible. Now, after all this, my pressures look great and the pool is crystal clear. All the measurements are in...

FC not holding. Was 0.5 this morning. Do I need another SLAM?

Nope. Only been backwashing it more these days due to issues with clogging. Very infrequent in the early days. Now that the filters seem much cleaner I'm gonna leave it alone.

Still looks amazingly clear. I dare say even more clear than the crystal clear I was used to before all the filter issues. Perhaps a once-yearly TSP/acid wash is in the cards. Or just having the spare set helps. Today's numbers - I haven't added or touched the chemistry since before the party...

My clarity was this way before. Only recently have been having issues. But definitely notice a flow difference after cleaning the filters. Can I turn everything back on to auto (including SWCG)? Also I did a very quick backwash - like maybe 10-15 seconds. I didn't put any more DE in because I...

Party went great. Was able to run water features at roughly half pump speed rather than full. Degrading slightly as party went on. Did a quick backwash after and will let filter clean up from here.

Yes, I want that. Where did you buy it? Drop-in replacement? My FC isn't changing - still 32 solid. I haven't had any supplemental chlorine production for a while now but its holding steady. I should maybe turn the solar on but I think the pool is warm enough already so likely won't. I was...

Original.

Oops my bad. Sticky gauge. 12.5!

15.5 [emoji27]

Water clarity is phenomenal this morning!

LOL. I run the pump the whole time during a party (a bit noisy but) so that the deck jets, waterfall, and bubblers can be on. I am considering a quickie "outdoor shower" setup so that people can rinse off BEFORE getting in the pool. Also adding a full bathroom right next to it so that they don't...

Not all at once :)

Haha! We do have a lot of shade. Here's a pic of it right now (3:25pm) and already starting to shade.

Yup. I'm interested to see how the party goes. We have over 50 people coming.
