Hi Everyone, I having trouble with my Slam. We're on day 5 of the process. It started when our liquid chlorine pump broke, we didn't notice, and yellow algae started to grow on our pool cleaner 😬 Oops. I checked the CYA before we started and it was at 40 so we've been keeping FC at 16 but the...

Hi All, After giving our DE filter a deep cleaning to end the season, we are having trouble getting it to seal back up. Multiple attempts have continued to result in leaks around the middle once the clamp is put back together. Any tips or tricks to this? It seems to always give us trouble...
