    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    I miss said myself. I was not getting leaf particles or chunks of random trash that I usually see while back washing just very white opaque water.

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    Ok since I cleaned and topped it off and added a functional gauge the pump averages 8psi and daily builds to 12ish so I have been back washing daily as well Edit: I assume the cloudy particles is the reason for the increased pressure. Since I am not getting dirt or debris when I backwash on...

    And I add DE until pump pressure increases 2 psi correct?

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    I have ceased with the slam. 3 days running I passed oclt. I have been checking FC and CC in the morning and afternoon since I quit maintaining slam (yesterday afternoon) my CC test barely turns pink now. I still have cloudy pool water though. I will get in tonight and brush and vacuum again. My...

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    Not at all. Very rough not smooth like beach sand but no dust or powder accumulation . My pool has been cloudy for weeks. I have been slamming for 9 days now and redid the filter in the hopes it would clear. My numbers are all good (ph is high) but otherwise steady and stable

    It did not have #20 on the bag but was labeled as specifically pool sand. Here is not the actual bag but what it looked like

    Cover anchor bolts

    Wheb putting down my cover anchor points I found 2 that were loose in the concrete. How can I bond them down securely so I do not have to worry about my kids sinking into my pool if they dive across the cover near the loose bolts? I just had it installed and the company put it on in the middle...

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    This is where I have been for a week passed oclt twice in a row. Had some rain and cooler weather though. Weird little bubbles on surface since I cleaned and topped off the sand filter (added 2 full bags and a partial, around 120lbs or so.)

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    Ok got it all buttoned back up new guage runs about 8psi. From pool school I gather that I can add DE to around 10 psi via main skimmer and backwash around 10 over normal which is 20ish psi correct?

    Pressure guage has not worked since I bought the house. I will be installing a new one today along with an elbow (maybe I failed to calculate clearance room)

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    I wonder if that might be the reason my pool is not cleared up yet even after slamming for 8 days and passing 2 consecutive OCLTs

    Sand Filter rejuvenation

    Ok y'all I have read and watched the videos on cleaning sand filters I have followed that process and think I am about done with cleaning and now 9n the adding sand portion. Can someone chime in on whether or not I am pretty well done? My sand was mostly gone. Filter states sand to within 6...

    Bleach Weights/Strengths

    I am not sure if that is bleach reading the pamphlet. From what I understand you will want to use straight bleach and that is instable so you will want to know how it is stabilized and make sure that you are not added some random extra chemicals to your pool. On the container it should have...

    Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

    I just stocked up at Wm on the chlorinating liquid. I noticed that the Julian date was 013 and when I applied to my pool it did not smell like the 097 stuff I had been getting. Is there any guidelines on how old is too old?

    That sounds just like my situation. I have 3 oaks and a few dogwood trees nearby and my pool is constantly covered in all manner of debris. I will work on getting the poolskim and a couple of these

    I wish I knew that the C version had bigger bottles of reagent. I would have pushed for it instead of the regular one. How does everyone order their refills? I worry Amazon would be older product or knockoff stuff. I guess the same applies for the kits but I just now thought about that Sent...

    Ok testing done finally

    Yeah I plan to hopefully get pool right and maybe next weekend clean my sand filter, top off the sand leveo if it is low (bought this house and pool last September so just getting my feet wet with maintenance) the previous owners said they just never turned the filter off the pressure guage on...

    Pool is milky opaque when I was brushing the sides and bottom getting a lot of green afterwards from the bloom I had. Today brushing did not alter it from chalky white or so Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
