You are the man, Dave. I ran it and checked the skimmers. Furthest away had the skimmer flap stuck preventing water flow. Thank you greatly. Headache over.

Understood. No vortexing, no air intake from skimmer. Wondering if there's an air leak elsewhere...

Water level is midway with skimmer as recommended. Will upload video of pump in action shortly.

Maybe that's DE and I just don't know what a real backwash looks like ??

Pressure valve doesn't reach over 15 but drops to 0 and then climbs back to 15--rinse and repeat. Basket also not staying primed when I turn on filter. When backwashing the flow goes from normal to low and etc. **SOLVED** Skimmer Flap/Wall was stuck preventing water and creating a suction of air.

I added in the recommended liquid chlorine. Did a test and still at 0.5 FC. However, my CYA went down slightly. Before it was a little below 30 (or a little above the line), now it's right on the line. I guess I add more liquid chlorine?

Oh, we've been brushing FOOLS this week! You may be right. Non SLAM calculations so far is telling me to add 96oz of lc and 40lbs of salt.

Thanks Maddie. I'll add bleach and acid. We already have algae in certain parts of the pool floor. Didn't realize what it was (honestly thought it was stained/chipped/etc.) until I started reading posts here.

Got my TF Test Kit in the mail today! Already tested the water...and boy do I want to punch Leslies in the throat. 0.5 CL 1.0 BR 8.2 PH 0.5 FC 0.5 CC 175 CH 187 TA 30 CYA 1000 NaCL per Taylor Salt Test Strips I just downloaded the PoolMath app however I don't know if I can trust the SWG...

Thank you.
