Im suddenly having an issue with my filter. The pressure is steadily in the middle of yellow no matter how much i back wash. Now i dont have enough water flow to run my intex vaccum. I have a swg as well.

Its 15000 gallon. If i wanted to keep pool at 5 fc with cya of 45 how long should i be running and what time of day? Its full sun and its been 95-100 everyday

I finally got my pool clear. Bought a new swg arriving tomorrow. Put the salt in tonight and smell something awful. My husband informs me a diesel can spilled on way home from lowes and got diesel on bags. Bags had sat back of truck for a week or more in this diesel. So... some must of absorbed...

I upgraded my pool shortly after I had bought my intex saltwater system. It’s made for up to 4,500 gallons and my new pool is 6,000. It’s also full sun and 95 here with heat index over 100. Running it 12 hours a day it still can’t keep up. Anything I can do besides buying a new swg?

I just filled with sand hooked it up. Brand new out of box. It gets power but the pump makes no noise and no water circulating. The gfci has been reset mutliple times but I’ve noticed the light stays red. My swg has green light. My husband says has nothing to do with it but I think something is...

I cannot find pool sand anywhere near me. I got some a month ago but I got a larger filter and need more! Play sand is a no no right?

Ok I’ve had it. Everything that bites will bite me. I get little swarms of gnats around my pool and in my yard and they bite me. I also have what look to be red mites and I swear they bite me too. I only have these when I have a pool. How do I get rid of these so I can enjoy my time outside?! I...

Is there a way to lower ph with home items?

Been a while. Not new here, but last year was my first year with a pool again and I didn’t do a good job due to my health. It sat through winter all nasty. We had yard work done so we drained and took it down. The inside is still filthy. We set it back up and I’m in process of slamming it but...

How do I check to make sure it works and everything is in good working order before I modify my fittings and hook up? Also it was moved with the sand in it before we knew that was a no no. What do we need to look for and how do we remove the sand?

We purchased a 15x33 summer waves that was marked down. Next year we will probably go bigger. I received a free intex sand filter 3000 gph Is this going to be ok to run on this pool? Pool is approx 3,157 gallons

Until I can get another test kit, where would I want my numbers on oto test for chlorine for close to fc of 5 -6?

Been a while since I’ve been here. We moved a year and a half ago and I sold my pool and all my accessories and testing kit. Boo hoo Kids want a pool again. I’m not convinced as no one will help me clean it. Vacuuming was really my only issue. I have rheumatoid arthritis and was difficult to be...

Ok I added salt when it said low salt. According to my test I have roughly 3390 ppm salt. I have tried cleaning swg but had no luck and not sure I even did it correctly. Could you please tell mr how to clean cell and what else I should do? I have 1 fc in pool now. About to go buy bleach before...

So we had a huge rain and had low salt reading. I tested and added proper amount 2 days later it still reads low salt and having hard time keeping up with chlorine even though we have not been swimming. Then all the sudden my sand filter has lower pressure than normal. I'm usually at 9 psi and...

Had a big rain and then my swg started saying low salt. I tested and added more salt. 2 days later still reading low salt and it is not keeping up with chlorine like it was before. Does it take this long for salt to register??

My scooper was caked with dry powder. Could having too much or too little powder effect my results? I tested last night and had 10.5 fc This morning at 8.5 fc. We recently switched over to swg. I ran out of powder for test 3 days into trying to figure out how long to run it. I know I at least...

I'm so sorry for my constant questions. I've got it up and running but I'm confused about what fc I should be shooting for with set and what target I should have when I test before it comes on. I lose 3-4 a day sometimes more with liquid chlorine. Its normally 93-100 degrees here...105-108 with...

Help! I put my salt in this morning. Most of it is almost dissolved already. When do I add stabilizer to bump it to 80? Can we swim while I'm adding stabilizer. I know it takes a while to dissolve? I always end up with cya too high even though I'm adding proper amount. How do I deal with that...

I bought a used intex salt water system. Looks like its never been used. What do I nees to know about converting to saltwater? Do I need anything special to test? Obviously I need salt. How do I do this and so it right?

This morning with oto drops it said I had at least 5 fc. I put enough chlorine to add 4 more fc. I checked it this afternoon and its at 3 fc. It is 94 degrees and 106 with heat index. I added enough to bump 3 more we are about to swim. Last yr it consumed about 3 -4 a day I forgot to add that...

No matter what I do I can't keep dust vacuumed up. I'm not sure if filter isn't catching it or if it's just new dust. Would DE help filter the dust? Im neurotic about bottom of pool being clean before we get in

Ofclt 0 Cc 0 My water is clear I just have to figure out why I keep getting sand in pool. I have some dust to vacuum up on bottom from our dirt road but I did ofclt with dust on bottom and passed

What can be the problem here? I know for a fact it is sand. When I backwash I rinse afterwards but the cleaner I'm getting the pool when I come back next day I see sand. I'm still fighting fine dust on the bottom as well I dont think we are ever gonna get to swim this yr. [emoji24]

Are there any squeegy type vacuum heads? I couldn't find anything. I ended up having to get in the pool and run the hose across the bottom to get the fine dust and sand off the bottom. My vacuum head will not pick it up. I live on a highly traveled dirt road and dust floats into our yard each...

I'm having to continue my slam because I can't seem to get everything off of bottom. There isnt much left but a fine thin layer. I brush everyday. Pool is clear and then only slightly cloud when I brush. Cc is 0 I have not done overnight yet. What is the most efficient way of tackling this...

How do I clean this little pocket without getting it in my pool? I didn't notice it until it rained and its full of algae

My filter takes a few mins to build up pressure when turned on, when back washing. When I try to vacuum I have NO pressure. I primed hose and connected under water plugged second intake. I'm at a loss!

I've be slamming pool. It is crystal clear other than everything at bottom. I pinched nerve in my back and have not been vacuuming. When I was it didn't seem very efficient. Are there any tricks? I hook hose up and vacuum through sand filter. I make sure hose is filled with water and hook it...
