Will do, thanks.

I just got back. I swapped out the unused clarifier for real shock. When can I start using shock? I know you are not suppose to use them at the same time and I only put two bottles in which probably isn’t a huge amount for a 40k pool. I want to put 2-3 bottles of liquid shock in when I get...

Clarifier. I usually only use liquid shock 12.5%. There is no percentage but the bottles are 95% the same looking at the shock I buy every year and they were stacked in boxes of 4 with the labor of shock so I didn’t even look until I got home and poured some.

I put a skimmer sock on the skimmer I don't usually use them as they fall off but I put it on until I get this situatated. I loaded the boxes up to return what I haven’t used. It said some type of polymer as ingredient but no percentages or anything. The pool is in rough shape but it always...

Is liquid shock a floc? I just watched a video explaining difference between clarifier and floc, but I've never heard shock called Floc. I do plan on replacing my DE fins this year after I get the pool open and clean, we have had problems with low pressure, and think the fins might need to be...

DE, which I noticed on the bottle it says don't use with de filters, but it was too late at that point, I already put two bottles in.

I opened my pool and picked up 16 bottles of what I thought was shock only to find out after I put two gallons in my pool it is clarifier. My pool (~40,000 gallons inground) usually starts pretty green and takes me about a week to get it swimming ready. The bottles looked exactly like the...

I didn't do anything with filter but backwash it. The pool was leaking, and had high pressure, so I tore the MPV apart as I have had issues with the spider gasket before, and I held off replacing last year as the leak stopped. I washed the grid inside of the bottom half of the DE filter with...

I took the filter apart and washed it good, and it looks clean. The breather was dirty which I washed, but didn't take off, not sure if you have to clean inside of it some how. Can anything in the multiport valve cause high pressure? I figure it can cause low pressure if it leaks to waste or...

I just measured and the loss is around 0.5 fc.

Thanks! Will post the results.

Algae could cause the pressure to be that high? Even when the water looks really clear? I have no doubt there might still be algae in the water, (it looks crystal clear) but I'm still finishing the opening. It looks really good though, so I don't understand how it can cause so much pressure...

Fc 4.5 alk 60 ph 7.2 cya 15-20 I am still raising cya with sock in skimmer. I will be upping the ph a little today. The pool is visibly very clear and no signs of algae but it was pretty green when opened.
