Okay so I put in my new filter cartridges last Sunday afternoon. I also purchased liquid chlorine. I've had my system running 24/7 for the last 3 days and my SWG is set to 95% right now. Every other day I've been testing the chlorine and it's been reading low, so while waiting on my test kit...

Yeah it's worked well, though mine were so bad (and large) I soaked them once, then flipped them over in new water/soap/bleach and soaked again. I sprayed them off really well in between soakings and now I'm doing them a third time in just water/bleach. Hopefully tomorrow the water will run...

Just to be sure, when we talk about liquid chlorine, we're talking about anything with Sodium Hydrochlorite, right? The granular shock is calcium hydrochlorite and has things that will affect the CYA levels. I want to be sure as I shop around that I can get anything with the active ingredient as...

That's what I read on another forum, I just wanted to get a second opinion to make sure that the dishwashing detergent would work the same. Thanks!

I saw stickies for DE filters and sand filters, but not cartridge filters. So I've just recently purchased my house, and the cartridges for my filter (it's a large filter, so I have 1 very large cartridge, then one skinnier taller one that goes inside that one, model is in my signature) were...

I just bought my house last year and when the company came out to close the pool and blew the air through the lines, we noticed the bottom drain cover kind of displaced when the large bubbles went past it. Over the winter, the pool was closed, then we opened the pool up and found that the cover...

Okay, so considering I've already spent a few hundred dollars on the shocks/algaecides that we used to clear things up most of the way, any suggestions on what to try for the next few days until my test kit gets in to see if I need to further SLAM the pool? I've been using the granular shock...

After posting, I was reading through some of the other forums (namely the SWG and algae forums). I also read the SLAM post and the ABCs. So I guess let me boil it down another way into a few questions that maybe are easier to answer. 1. (fast forward 2 weeks from now and things are cleared up)...

It's the first time I've opened my pool and for the last 2 months I've been fighting problems with keeping my chlorine levels up which has allowed algae to grow. I'll give a rundown of events during that time, and have unfortunately spent too much money already. I also have been asking my friend...

The pump itself works 'fine', as using it without a hose had it pumping out with no problem. I opened it and it was clean inside and the float moves around with no problem. The outside holes are unimpeded. After realizing that I had to wait for my post to be posted, I continued to work with it...

I searched all over the internet for help and looked up the manual to the pump but nothing helped. I've used this forum for other information so hopefully someone can help me with my problem. I'm a new pool owner (in ground, solid cover) and just closed for the winter. The first time it rained I...
