@Joyfulnoise WOWZZERS I'm so beyond jealous. Best looking piece of meat I've seen in awhile. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Pool Cover = no :(

Yeah, I added a fountain, (the red handle in the picture). I'll look into adding another return, wife & I had already discussed it. The one return right now WOWSER when standing in front of it, lol. I'll check out the searches & see what I can find. Thanks

OK, cool but would adding another return & another port lower in the pool to the pump help more? - - - Updated - - - Automated cleaner? Don't those STAY in the pool? I don't really see this pool having enough room to LEAVE something in the pool. Or am I misunderstanding automated cleaners?

With having added a skimmer this yr, it totally changed the location of everything. I am wondering if just the skimmer is enough going from the pool to the filter. Daily, I have to vacuum because there is visible stuff on the floor EVERY day. I have been doing my best for a SLAM as my work...

Totally turn off pump EVERY time I move the handle. http://waterwayparts.com/ is where I am getting parts for this as that is the manufacturer of the pump & filter. This the multi port valve with everything including the spider gasket already attached for almost $90. I am seriously considering...

OK, I seem to be leaking out the waste port again. When I lift the handle it feels like it does 1/2 way before it actually engages. Would this be a cause?

OK, it's done. 3 hours trying to get old gasket out, several cuts on my hand lol. New on pressed in, UBER tight fitting while pressing it in. I was trying to make sure it fit then was going to remove & put the glue in BUT my gosh that's a TIGHT fit. So, instead of chancing messing the new gasket...

That's how I'm proceeding, didn't really see any other way. Was just hoping someone here had ran across an easier/faster/safer method. Wish me luck Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Any suggestions on how to get the old gasket to release? This thing is glued in like it's protecting Fort Knox. It's attached to the part that lifts out, not down inside. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Thank you for the advice Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Yes, I have learned that. I bought the pump & filter used before I knew to ask which direction they had been turning it. I've been going clockwise & my boy knows to do the same. From what I've been able to gather from looking for parts & such this pump is circa 2003ish. So, maybe was just time...

In looking thru YouTube video's. They say some say some spider gaskets require a lock tight type super glue & some don't. How will I know if mine does or not?

WELL HECK, I woke up this morning & I had bubbles being pumped into the pool. Water level had fallen overnight. :scratch:Thankfully, it hadn't gone far enough to have NO water going thru it. Filter was losing water thru the backwash port. I had had several instances where this wanted to happen...

Will test again tonight, as for enjoying today, overcast & showers ALL day ugh lol. Just my luck. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I added chlorine about 10 PM that according to Pool Math would take it to 16, this morning about 9:30 AM. FC was 15. Loss of one Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

The picture didn't come out very well, I think in part to being overcast & drizzling rain on me as I was taking it. Standing at the pool you can very clearly see the bottom, Guess I'll just keep an eye on it thru the day today to see if it stays clear or looks cloudy in the least. Sent from my...

I have been fighting my pool all yr. Received my TF-100 on 6-13-16. Pool had been green & brown. I had been able to get it to milky white but never able to see bottom of the pool. I followed SLAM, kept FC up, brushed several times daily, vacuumed. It never seemed to get past the milky stage. I...

OK, I finally got tired of fighting this since June 13th and went to Hone Depot last night & bought some FLOC. Pool was still VERY milky & could just barely see the bottom at the edge if you really strained to look. Put it in & followed directions in the label, circulated for 2 hrs, then let sit...

Well, I for one am glad to see a MOD posting showing even they have the regular everyday frantic life goes wrong moments.

Well, today has been washed out. Severe storms with torrential downpours & quarter sized hail & lightning. Pool would be at a good point to backwash with the high water levels, lol. Hope to catch a break long enough to test & add chlorine & get back to it tomorrow. Sent from my VS980 4G using...

Does the bottom drain on the filter supposed to keep the sand in while letting water out? Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

With the sand being new this year, would the slam have really done it in enough to be needing a deep clean already?

How, pull laterals out, take sand out, then out back in?

What exactly would I be looking at/for? Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

brushing 1-2 times daily & vacuuming doesn't look like it is bringing much up anymore. This is 1st yr with sand filter, bought used, assembled myself. Could something be off there? How would I tell. I switched from filter to circulate before & on circulate pressure went up a few lbs.

The gauge has maybe moved 1 or 2 lbs. It's been over a week since I back washed. I think it was at 12 or 13 earlier tonight. 10-11 is after a backwash. Is having just a skimmer enough going to the filter or should I have a lower down in the pool out to filter fitting as well? Sent from my...

I've been looking at this whiteish pool for days on end & my FC drops about 6-7 in about 10-12th hrs of sunlight & maybe 1-2 overnight Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Would adding DE to my filter help clear up the cloudiness I now have?
