Are all the fittings that screw onto/into the filter and pump just stuff I can get at a hardware store or do I need to buy something special?

Big help, thank you guys!

I am having trouble figuring out how to connect my Hayward pump Sp1592 to my new cartridge Hayward Filter W3C500. The Filter intake is at the bottom of the unit. Is there a kit or something to use? I am struggling to find anything online and pool store people have been less than helpful. Even...

Thanks for feedback on the white powder. I planned on doing a deep cleaning or sand replacement in the spring when I opened it back up. I agree that I think I need to inspect the laterals just to be safe In other news did a OCLT and last night it was 20ppm and this morning it was 19, so I...

This mornings results. I need to add water because the heat is zapping it but once I do I'm going to turn the filter on and add the necessary liquid chlorine.

I didn't test CH but I will do that in the morning. What do I do to maintain 24ppm? Don't add anything for now and keep testing until it gets down to 24?

Well my test kit finally arrived. The water is blue and I can see the bottom but not completely clearly. There is a white powder on the floor of the pool which I assume is algae? Let me know what you think I should do
