    Algae update

    I will try the loosen technique first. And see if I can get to it all. I will have a new gasket ready to go if I take it all the way off. Also I’ll make sure just to lower enough like you said. Thanks for the tips if I do it

    I have neglected my pool for a couple weeks. Upon testing I had zero fc. I dumped 2 gallons of shock and I’ll be buying more tomorrow to do a proper slam. I have 2 questions. 1. Will the algae spots come up with less elbow grease once the fc is high ? As of right now it’s hard to scrum away...

    Looking for a screw size

    I have a Hayward pump . I was weed whacking and I tore the ground wire off the pump. Does anyone know if this needs a specialty screw ? A certain type of metal ? Or size ?
