My neighbor doesn't like me to backwash next to his side so I need to figure out how to get the water to the other side of the yard. The flat hose is awful, mostly because it won't make the turns. I was using a (too short) rigid vacuum hose, but it doesn't seem like the fittings will last...

My sand filter has started to vibrate (with a low vibration noise too) shortly after running. Its base was breaking and the whole thing was falling to the side, so I managed to get it onto blocks and straight again this week. I replumbed everything to the pump, between, and the return. But it...

The base that my sand filter sits on has completely broken to pieces. The filter is now tipped and leaning into the side of my house and the PVC going into the filter is crooked (and probably gonna crack somewhere). The pool store says I should just replace the whole filter since it's old...

My pump and pool vac broke so I've been getting them fixed the past couple weeks. In the meantime, my pool turned from blue with brown algae (assume this was mustard) on the sunny wall to a cloudy green swamp. Everything was fixed as of yesterday so I started working on the chemicals last...
