Just opened the pool for the season today. I’m noticing the filter pressure climbing very rapidly. Like every 15 mins I’m having to bump it. I have tried flushing it out and adding new DE with no improvement. I should mention that my cover leaked and the pool is quite green. But it’s climbing...

Hi, just opened my pool this week and now it looks like a snowstorm is supposed to come blasting thru on Friday and Saturday along with temps below freezing. Should I be concerned about pipes freezing up or damage to my skimmer?

I have a piece of concrete that is cracked at the edge of my pool. Part of the metal border that I'm assuming helps secure the liner is attached. Maybe 10 inches or so. Nothing is loose right now but my fear is that over the winter some moisture is going to get in there and perhaps cause an...

If my filter’s pressure reading is holding steady at an acceptable level, is there any reason to change out the DE in there? I have a Perflex EC-65. Last time I flushed out the DE was back at the end of June. The pressure has pretty much held steady at around 10psi. I think I’ve bumped it twice...

Hi, I noticed that my deep end return sporadically has tiny air bubbles coming out. It’s not a constant flow of bubbles, it lasts less than a second and the bubbles almost look like a mist. When it happens the best way I could describe it is that it kind of looks like if you were to quickly...

So with all the rain near me lately I’m frequently needing to lower my water to a level where the skimmer can be effective. I have a DE filter and what I usually do is drain the water and then bump it several times to discharge the DE then recharge it. My question is, do I need to do that? Is...

Had to replace my pool filter tank this year. My old one cracked open about an hour after the pump was started up for the first time this season. The new tank is a Hayward Perflex EC65A. I have a 1.5 HP Hayward superpump running. Last year with the old tank my pressure ran between 10-12psi...

This may be a dumb question but this past week we’ve gotten a huge amount of rain. Water was up over the top of the skimmer so it couldn’t do its job. I lowered the level yesterday and also flushed out the DE from my filter and added new DE to it. Of course tonight it’s pouring again and will...

Each day my pool is getting a buildup of whatever is in the attached photo. Especially around any bumps or creases in the liner. Can’t tell if it is algae or if it’s spitting out DE due to an issue with the filter. Looking for any advice as to how to prevent this as it’s getting annoying having...

Hi, having an issue with my pressure shooting way up over the course of about an hour and the water flow slows significantly. This has happened quite suddenly. It first occurred yesterday. I figured it needed to be backwashed so I did that this morning. Went out for a couple hours, came back...
