Sounds great. The only one I'm not sure of is #1. How do I do that?

I just had a pool put in 2 months ago. Prior to this pool I had an inground vinyl pool for 13 years so I'm fairly familiar with maintenance. That said my current pool has a SWG and a cartridge filter. My previous setup was a sand filter and I used the BBB method to maintain it. In the past I...

I haven't tested the water but I can. There is/was a pool company that adds chemicals once a month and there is a chlorine tab dispenser. I'm not sure if there are any pucks in the dispenser. My replies might be slow because on going on vacation until next Wednesday.

I'm having issues with a C1200 filtration system. The front of my neighbor hood has 4 waterfalls. Two on each side of the road. The side that is malfunctioning has low flow through the waterfall. I've cleaned the filters and they are usually good for about 6 hours before flow is back to almost a...

Well, lol. Looks like the I'm getting the bigger one. The smaller one is not eligible for amazon prime. It was last night.

So the 60gpm filter should be fine? Honestly I'm probably going to run it 24/7 once I list the house. I might have people over twice a week to swim. So does the 60gpm still sound good? Sorry for all the questions.

spitting out sand, multiport gasket is leaking, can't buy the gasket have to buy the whole multiport, that is $140ish. I'm putting the house up for sale so I'd rather just replace the sand filter as a whole. I stay travel so I need the sand filter to work. I don't have time to troubleshoot it...

I have a 24,000 gallon pool. Shallow end I think is 3ft, deep end is 8ft. My piping is 1.5 inch, pool pump is 1hp, I have two returns and one skimmer. I am looking at a sand filter that flows 60gpm and another that flows 75gpm. Which should I go with?

Did you get all the leaves and tadpoles out? I didn't....I wasted 3 weeks fighting with my pool because if it.

Almost

Getting closer! Shallow end is almost completely clear and the deep end is clearing up. I need to vacuum. Deep end

I know there are two schools of thought on sand. Well I changed mine over the weekend. Perhaps my pool just reached a point where the water is starting to show results, perhaps it was the sand. IDK. Things are getting clearer daily now. I had to fix a leak in the tank so I couldn't filter for a...

I can slightly see the liner in shallow end. It is coming along slowly but surely. sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3 on PPC.

This is about 28 hours later. I see some improvement. Thoughts?

Over the weekend I was SLAMing hourly until I went to bed. Now through the week SLAM in the morning and then hourly when I get home around 6pm.

Can I have a leak in the filter that is causing water to go by unfiltered which is slowing down the process? Maybe I just need to hunker down more and be patient. I wasted 3 weeks with leaves in my mounds of leaves in my pool. Perhaps I'm impatient because of that. It has been 5 days I think...

JasonLion, What information can I provide to help determine whether or not the filter is the issue? Should I by some DE and toss it in the skimmer to see if it comes out the returns. I'm not sure what to do. This quote worries me. It is like I've hit a wall. I literally have seen no...

CC was 1.

The backwash port had a slight drip from it the last time I took the backwash hose off. Should I see if it still leaks. Here is what the gasket looked like yesterday. My test came back 13.5 FC 7.2 PH 80 TA 50 CH 50 CYA

A few years back I replaced my laterals and pipe vertical pipe in the tank. Could a bad o-ring or spider gasket cause my issue? I've never replaced either. I'm going to pull the valve apart and take pictures.

I'll post complete test results soon as I get home. Pressure goes up steadily. Normal pressure is 18. I usually backwash at 23. I've been backwashing/rinsing daily. sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3 on PPC.

Before I left for work I was at 15ppm FC, 7.4 PH, TA 80, CYA was 50. Last night at 10pm everything was the same but FC was at 18.5. I added bleach to get it up to 20. I thought for sure the mounds of leaves at the bottom were the reason I could not get ahead of the algae. I don't know now.

For the last 4 weeks I've been battling my pool. I know I've lost 3 weeks due to my stupidity of not getting all the leaves and debris out of my deep end. Everything I was able to scoop out is out. I slammed my pool starting Friday and it went from milky to less green, to the color it is in the...

Lol yes. This forum has been a tremendous help since I switched to the BBB method. If my stupity helps others I'm all for it. sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3 on PPC.

Every time I test and adjust I'm pulling out leaves. It seems like I'm pulling out less. I'm still getting about 5 good scoops each time. I think they settle between when I'm testing. I feel like an idiot. I've wasted 3 weeks because of mounds of leaves in the deep end of my pool.

FC 20 CYA 50 PH 7.4 TA 90 Pressure was 18psi an hour ago it is now up to 20psi.

I'm going to test in an hour. My CYA was at 50 yesterday. PH was at 7.4 this morning. I'll redo everything and post results at around 1145.
