Thanks. The jugs with sand and concrete sound like a great idea. The bags of sand did last about 5 years before this happened. But it was for sure algae city.

Will post pic of steps once I get home. Yea I used a few backs of sand to hold them down. They didn’t do a very good job. Plus they were full of algae. Lesson learned

Thanks for the reply. They show it on the web site but says it discontinued. Everyplace I find it says discontinued. Was hoping someone on here knew of one that would be close enough to work.

Not sure model of my pool. It’s about 15 years old. I broke a few of the coping caps replacing liner. Everywhere says there are not made anymore. It’s oyster bay part# 10111. Any advise ?

Update. I gave up and drained the pool. I needed a new liner anyway. Problem was under the steps. It was awful. I guess I need to take the steps out every couple of years. Now the problem is I have a few broken caps for the copping. I will post it in another thread.

Added it couple more times today. It is topping up really quick. Like in 10 minutes. Don’t have time to babysit it today. So backwashed and added just a small amount of de. Will check when I get back home. Gonna be home a couple hours.

Sounds like I need to backwash already. Pressure wash 10psi. I added de to 11 psi. It’s already at almost 15 now.

Thanks for the help. Will let you know how it looks in a few days.

Just checked it. Pressure already up about 4lbs from where it started. So looks like it is working.

Gotcha will do. Will I lose the de I put in when I backwash it?

I just added the de to the filter. Didn’t take much to bring pressure 1 psi. It took about half a quart jar. Added de to the jar mixed with water and poured in skimmer. Will see what it looks like in the morning.

Thanks. I will try the de. I have deep cleaned the filter.

Walmart has regular bleach and cleaning bleach. Cleaning bleach is almost a dollar a gallon cheaper. What’s the difference? I bought the cleaning bleach. They are both 6 percent.

We have had pools for a few years, bought a new house this year with a 28 foot round above ground pool. opened it a few weeks ago. Previous owners used Pristine Blue. I drained most of the water down to less than a foot of water and started back with chlorine. Water was good but cloudy. Notices...

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) got a call from walmart this morning,they are not going to honor the ad.and they were kinda rude about it.did finally get a 20.00 refund since the price has went down 20.00.

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) not a bad idea,but Im still emailing them back and forth.maybe they will just get tired of me

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) got a voicemail from them saying they were not going to honor it,said it was a mistake on the web site.but I could return it if I wanted too.119 is still a pretty good deal though.

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) talked to them about 30 minutes,gave them an order# from someone who got saltwater system and sand filter,said they will call me back in a couple of days........we will see
