    Sand in pool

    I am getting pool sand in the pool. This also happened with the brand new equipment when I first purchased the pool. So the company sent me new laterals and multiport valve. I also went ahead and replaced the sand just to make sure I had the right grade and everything. Fast-forward a couple...

    Spring swamp

    So poor decisions at closing made for a swamp this spring. :( So here I am trying to get my pool back. Besides the obvious chlorine needed I am not sure where to start with TA and PH before the slam. Test results are as follows: FC 0, PH 7 ( 7.2 - 7.4 is my pools usual happy place), TA 40, CYA...

    New Sand filter putting sand in my pool.

    We bought a new pool and sand filter a few months ago. When we first starting using it there was a small amount of sand in the bottom of the pool but I wasn't sure it was the filter as it was new.

    New sand filter problem

    Ours was brand new out of the box. I guess it is fine. Its not leaking but anytime we turn pump off and change to another setting some water will come out of the backwash line.

    New pool is full and pump pieces missing

    We just installed a 24x52 hard sided above ground pool. We installed the pump when the pool was just below the return jet. Get the pump hooked up and realized it was missing a piece. The manufacturer is sending the missing piece but I am unsure how long it will take. I haven’t added anything to...
