Hello again... Been on the BBB method for 3 years.. this year I have a problem that I've never experienced... 19000 gal pool.. this summer has been extremely HOT... and very little rain.. so every few days Ive had to add well water from our house system... the last week I kept the cover on it...

got it....inside the filter the bottom where the 8 tubes screw into was completly split down the side.. 2 pipe clamps and some gorilla super glue did the trick.. now just have to get a replacement part ..... when does the fun start.. ??? hehe

See.. .when I was vacuuming all the leaves out.. Thats when I noticed that I had sand at the bottom of the pool... so alot of sand went with the leaves in the garbage.... so I know I probably 10-20lbs less than the orginal amount .. so my question is ...after I add the new sand to the filter...(...

Thanks again folks for an awesome looking pool and the savings on chemicals is awesome too.... Today when I pulled my cover off ... I saw a clear soda bottle that I threw in about 4 weeks ago in the bottom of the pool to watch my water currents and to use as a guage to see how clear the pool...
