Hey all! I want to deep clean my Triton tr100 sand filter, but am unsure how to isolate the filter. I understand where the inlet and outlet ports are, and I am aware of the sticky thread showing the process, but I'm not sure how to go about isolating the inlet outlet from the system. Are there...

Hey all! I have a bit of a strange problem.. I have an in ground pool, with a Triton tr100 sand filter and an old pentair style pump. I have the main drains turned off and have a drop in conversion to utilize a 4 wheel Poolverneugen (Hayward) Pool Cleaner vacuum with the little baby skimmer...

Oh there's live algae no doubt! I am not fooling myself about that. I am comfortable hitting it with the Slam and have no issue killing the algae. My bigger question is whether it is normal to get those fine particles recirculating back into the pool, or if it's really just an issue of needing...

Hey everyone! I have an issue with dead algae being recirculated back into the pool. I know this problem could be avoided by just keeping the pool algae free and not having to bomb the water from time to time, but here we are. It's a brand new sand filter, a TR100, with brand new sand. The...

The tech did suggest pulling that particular jet and letting it cycle for a night. If there's leftovers in that line pulling the jet and letting it blow out would probably blow all the Crud out of there, so I will just pull the jet and leave it off for a night.

Hey all! I am chasing a tenacious problem. For the record this is an in ground pool with jets, main drain, and skimmer with a sand filter. I have sand and dirt coming out of one jet in particular. I had a (I think) reputable company come out and look at it. Long story short, I now have a brand...

Thanks Again for the replies, Mr. Bama! You have inspired me to tackle it myself. I appreciate your time. Any ideas what would cause a 3 year old fiberglass tank to fail? What I have is bleeding out the sides of the tank with no visible cracks. I realized that the manifold which rotates the...

Thanks for the reply! Should the new tank come with instructions regarding the installation? I am not sure if there is pea gravel at the bottom, I've never deep cleaned the tank (which may be part of why it failed early, the learning curve is expensive) so I have never seen the bottom of the...

Hey there, everyone! I have a Pentair TR-100 filter for my in ground approx 28k gallon chlorine pool with a popup head system in Arizona. I was chasing what I thought was a leak from the top cap, but yesterday I noticed water is actually bleeding through the wall of the filter. I don't see any...

Hey every one! I am lookng for some advice regarding multiple leaks in the above ground plumbing connecting to my sand filter system. It is leaking at what I think is called the "buttress thread", basically the very top cover to the sand filter assembly. When the filter is going water seeps...

Hey all! I'm brand new here, protective plastic still intact and all, but will try to provide as much information as possible. I have an in ground plaster pool (30k gallons-ish) with a sand filter and an old pump that I don't know the history of as it came with the house. It makes some noise at...
