Well, it turned out a filter deep clean has helped so far! Also, we used a part on our multiport valve that supposedly releases the air, and maybe that helped. Still holding strong on the SLAM process, and can now see the 3rd step, but man it's taking long, even after we have added a little DE...

Currently have the filter disconnected and I'm about to do a deep clean, and I can't remember, because after it started smoking I would turn it off if the pump would not prime (10 mins or so) in order to prevent burning out the pump/motor. It had great flow at one point during the slam process...

Yes I should have clarified, smoke was coming from the filter basket, and the water looked like it was boiling almost, which from my research on here indicates a lack of flow which causes the heat that I was see'ing.

I have a sand filter. I had the sand changed out at the beginning of last year, and thought that should rule out issues of the filter not working, however, I've seen several people recommend a deep clean of the sand filter as a solution to helping the SLAM process go quicker, and I'm thinking I...

Ses76, How many total days did it take you before the water was clear?

Hey Finnegan5, How long did it take before your water cleared up? I've opened to a very similar situation, and I'm trying to remain patient and stay the course, and seeing your success definitely is motivation right now!

TLDR: -Pool started as a swamp -Started SLAM -Day 7 of SLAM pool pump basket is smoking (when going through the filter) - Pool is still green, (a very light green, but visibility still isn't past the 2nd step) -Need to know what to do from here Last year our pool pump broke...

My CYA is not even registering on the taylor test tube, I can still see the black dot very clear even after completely filling the tube. I need to SLAM my pool due to algae bloom, rain and pure laziness, I know in the past with low CYA it's been hard to keep FC for over night test, especially...

I'm very new to pools and have realized rather quickly that all the advice from this forums has been spot on. A few days ago my SWG went out and I need to replace it, I decided to do a little bit of research to see what would be the best option for our pool, and I'm deep down the rabbit hole...

Due to quota restrictions I will have to link the following photos: solarpanel1 | Malakai Duncan | Flickr https://flic.kr/p/SMdm2H

I will add additional photos to help others who have requested more info on the setup. Someone mentioned that the black bandage like "stuff" is insulation wrapped around a pipe underneath? It looks like the link to the PVC flexible coupling is exactly what I need, I just wasn't sure about what...

Hello, I am a very new pool owner and inherited a pool with solar panels that are used for heating. I live in Memphis, TN and every pool person I've had come out here has laughed under their breathe, generally saying that no one around here has those, and they are made for sunnier climates (CA...
