We have had our above ground pool for YEARS. We just started it up and filtration system is fine. Pressure at 10. However, we needed to vacuum it to remove all debris and when I got to attach vacuum to skimmer area, we lose pressure to 0. Everything worked last year. We checked for clocks...

We just started up our 15x30 above ground pool yesterday. We had a new liner installed after 15 years. Everything is clean, but my pressure gauge is ready about 13 to 14psi when it USED to read about 10 psi. Should I be concerned?

I originally posted regarding the fact that I seem to have 1/2 the suction I used to when I vacuum. Now the suction when I vacuum is great completely inside the sweeper, but technically there is no suction at the "bristles" of the sweeper. We have checked the hose, no leaks, no leaks in any...

Opened pool up this year, water was easy to get crystal clear. Pump seems to be working property at 10 psi. Everything is GREAT! However, when I go to vacuum the pool, my suction seems to be only 1/2 of what is used to be. I feel the suction if I put my finger almost inside the hole of the...

While we have our pool open now and THANK YOU to TFP, our water is crystal clear, my question is: How many hours per day do you run your pump and filter? 24x7? During the day only? During the night only? Thanks, Jeri

We are Charlie and Jeri from NE Oklahoma. We have had our 15x30 AG oval pool since 2006. This will be our fourth season. We built our backyard paradise in 2007. We have our pool, our hot tub, all surrounded by about 800 sq feet of decking that is multi level, overlooking our 13 acre farm...

My question is - is it normal for the pressure gauge on the pump to go down while vacuuming the pool? When I am done vacuuming, the pressure goes back up to 10. I might add that everything is working fine - vacuums fine, etc., no leaks, etc. It is just that I noticed that the gauge drops down...

Just in case.....what are the signs and symptoms that your pump and/or sand filter is NOT working correctly? Possible channeling of sand - symptoms? The outflow is good...motor on pump squeals a tad SOMETIMES, but otherwise sounds normal. However, JUST IN CASE....what is the symptom of sand...

I posted on pool opening and closing about cloudy water. You advised me to read Pool School and I am. However, I am confused about the CYA in correlation to FC and CC = TC. If stablizer HELPS keep the free chlorine from being burned off, how can too much CYA require you to add more chlorine...

I'm so glad I stumbled across this forum! We just opened our 15x30 pool for the first time without draining and completely starting over (we have had the pool for three years). Truthfully, we have had no problems with keeping the pool crystal clear. However, this year, we didn't drain and...
