Hi everyone. I have a typical blue pool hose that is a 1.5inch , but my skimmer plate is 1.25inch. I can't seem to find the proper type of step down adapter... you'd think it was simple but I can't find it. Here are some photos. Any ideas? A 90 degree one would be perfect but those have threads...

It's been a year since we installed our pool, and though our contractor told us that the pool has a slight grade sloping away from our house, it seems very likely that during strong torrential rainfalls (happens here alot) the water from the grass is going back into the pool. The ground was...

Hello all, I currently run my 600W 0.7HP sand filter in my 15,000 gal inground pool for 5 hours a day. When it rains or when it's really sunny sometimes the pool goes a bit cloudy and a bit green. All my FC, CH, CYA are at good levels. I usually run my pump for 4 hours in the day (11am-3pm) and...

Hello all, I've been having a small issue with my pool. For starters, I live in Rwanda where the UV index can hit 11 on normal days. We are in a very sunny season at the moment, no rain for several weeks. Also we have a dirt road near our house and it gets pretty dusty at times. I've been...

Hi all. I have a sand filter (Kenyan brand - I live in Africa) - and none of them have gauges. I used to backwash every 7-10 days or so, but knowing that a sand filter is more efficient when dirty, it's better to let it get a bit dirty. Are there any ways to determine when I need to backwash...

Hello everyone, new here. Been following TFP very closely and recently got my Taylor K2006 kit. My pool is a 15000 gallon new concrete pool (since Jan 2021) with acrylic paint. I run a 0.6kw pump 6 hours a day, which in technicality filters my water 1x through my sand filter. Recent...

Hello I have a few questions as a new pool owner. I have a 65000 liter plaster pool we just installed last month. Acrylic painted. I added about 30ppm of cyanuric acid by accident through the skimmer with circulation mode and saw all the granules go down to the bottom of the pool. I attempted...
