I have been watching my DE Filter closely lately, because it does not seem to be operating correctly as the pressure rises quickly after I replace the DE. I have a Hayward 20 Sq Ft Perflex DE Filter which is less than a year old. At first it worked perfectly. About two weeks ago, I opened it...

Each spring (like now), nearby trees drop tiny seeds into my pool which results in black stains in the pool which must be scrubbed off (it's an epoxy painted pool, and it stains the paint for some days until it wears off). I already have a bird cage around the pool which keeps most leaves out...

I recently did a make-over on my pool system: 1. Installed new DE filter (was filter type before) 2. Installed new New Heater (had none before) 3. Removed one of two pumps and re-plumbed so the pump will pull/feed either the pool or spa, depending on diverter valve settings. There are two...

My pool is mostly clean and clear. But I get a small amount of algae grown on the stairs where the cleaner can't get to. It looks like greenish/mustard. So I brush it and it comes off easily. But it is back again the next day. If the pool cleaner is off, then algae starts to accumulate on the...
