    Manual Vacuuming

    Hey everyone! Been awhile since I last asked a question. Sorry if this one is sort of basic but here it goes: For the most part I rely on my robot to clean the pool.

    Backwash Even If Pressure Isn’t Rising?

    Is this a dumb idea with Variable Speed pump?

    Hey everyone! Been stalking this forum for about a year for some really great pool tips. Decided to finally join and ask my first question because I haven’t seen it answered this way yet. I have a Pentair SuperFlo VS pump. When it’s running at full speed the PSI on my sand filter reads 15 and...
