@ Catanzaro Thanks for your input. Currently, I brush about once a week. Only because I never have had a problem with slimy walls and floor. But, I will start brushing once a day as you suggest. I also clean my filter every other day unless it is unusually dirty. I try to run the rover...

@ Catanzaro Good morning and thank you for your response. It is 26' x 4' Coleman above ground pool. There is no traditional skimmer. The return jet and intake are located about 6-8' from each other with the pump side port about 6" below the water line and the return jet at the water line...

Thanks Catanzaro. I looked at the link and will do a little more research on that product. It looks like I could just swap it out with the return I currently have. I think poor circulation is my biggest problem right now. I'm also considering building a second intake down low to help pull...

Good morning fellow TFP members. I first saw this site last year and it is a fantastic resource! I don't go to get anymore wasteful "instruction" from the pool store anymore, and that has saved me time and money after the very expensive startup I had this past spring. Thanks for all the help...
