    Cloudy pool

    Not sure why my sig doesn't show but it's an in ground vinyl pool. The equipment I got with the house 9 years ago. I have changed my sand out a couple years a go when having issues. I have also deep cleaned this sand twice. Once just in the last week. I will update when I get the kit. Thanks

    Cloudy pool

    We buy from the states all the time and use one of the shipping addresses. Just shy away from it lately with the exchange and 5$ to pick it up and 4$ each way to cross the bridge.

    Cloudy pool

    Ok so i like to punish myself and decided to take apart my filter again and inspect everything. all the laterals looked good so i turned it on with the lid off and noticed water coming out near the bulkhead.

    Cloudy pool

    Does anyone else have a lot of greenery around their pool. I'm wondering if the green hue I see is just a reflection of all the green I have around the pool.

    Dirt through filter?

    I'm not positive it's the same stuff. Just that I add some plant junk into the skimmer and then catch similar stuff out the return. I have 3 returns and I'm only putting a sock on one. if I put the multiport to recirc my pressure goes to 0. With it on filter I get reading about 5.

    Dirt through filter?

    I tried this last year. Same video I followed last year too. I can do it again but I don't understand how large pieces of plant matter is getting all the way through. I really thought it would be my valve not sealing. But then why isn't it pushing water out the backwash line.

    Dirt through filter?

    So I have struggled with this pool for the last couple years trying to get it clean and throwing all kinds of chemicals at it. This year I purchased a slime bag.

    Reverse calculate pool size

    Hi all, I just switched to salt. And like a dummy I added too much based on an assumption of pool size I have been using for several years.
