Oh boy, I don't even know. Came with the house. I'll have to see if it is written anywhere on the pool.

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement corner covers? I have a number of broken and missing ones at this point.

Getting close to ending SLAM! My FC dropped maybe 0.5 overnight, and couldn't register any CC. Water is quite clear, but could be a bit better. Will probably keep this up with the pump running for a couple more days, then start to let the FC drift down. It seems like the deep clean of the...

Sounds good everyone! Yes, I am thinking I will do a second deep clean of the filter when I am off tomorrow. The water wasn't running totally clear the first time after about 30-45min, but I ran out of time. I think I am seeing some progress in the water clearing, but hard to judge. Will...

@pypeke I am checking the FC and adjusting 3 times a day. The odd thing is that I am not really getting an FC drop overnight, which is why I am focusing more on filtration now. I think the water is cloudy from all the dead algae that is just not getting cleared out. Also, pump has been...

Hmm, ok, sounds like I should do that. My pool is near a pine tree, so I probably have a ton of pine needles in there too. Did you replace the sand after the deep clean? FC stayed at 16 overnight, so it definitely seems like I have a filtration problem, rather than an algae, or other...

I have not yet. I will see what that entails, and see if I can find time to do that.

So pH is 7.0-7.2 now. FC was 10.5 this morning, so will add chlorine to get back up to 16 and brush. Then I guess it is just a SLAM waiting game. Attached are some pics from this morning. Can only see about halfway down still. I also backwashed the filter this morning. It was at 12psi, and...

Awesome, thanks everyone! Should have the pH straightened out today, then back to full SLAM. I have been brushing 2-3X per day. Starting to see slow improvements I think, just impatient.

How long after adding washing soda or muriatic acid do you need to wait to take a new pH measurement? I would think it would be pretty quick.

I am using the recommended FAS-DPD test kit. I will brush this morning, then let it drift down to adjust pH and TA, then hopefully get back up to shock level for overnight. I am just impatient with the sand filter, but I know it is slowly working....

Gotcha, I will step up the brushing. I am also working from home right now with two little kids, so finding the time is a bit hard. I have been backwashing the filter pretty much daily. It is usually about 9 psi clean, and has only gotten up to 11psi or so. Also, it is worth it to let the FC...

I have been following the methods outlined on here for the past 8 years with my pool. However, this year has been a challenge so far. We got a puppy at the end of last season, and he proceeded to completely destroy the cover over the winter/spring. So, there is probably a ton of organic debris...

I would be willing to have a slightly higher run time, just don't want it to be 24 hours.

I am considering buying a SWG, as I am tired of clearing the grocery store out of bleach, and lugging it around. It also would be nice to go on a vacation and not have to try and add more chlorine before I go away, and possibly come back to things being out of whack. My pool stats are in my...

I must have a leak in my liner, and my cover is now on for the winter. There is maybe only 6" of water in the pool now. I am concerned that the weight of water and snow on the cover is going to be too much for the pool frame to handle. Thoughts? Should I just take the cover off and then fix...

Cool, thanks for the comments. I have an old sump pump kicking around that I can use to pump the water off the cover. I will try and do that before the temperatures get down to freezing.

I just wanted to post a picture of what my AGP looks like after closing it for the first time, just to make sure I am not missing anything major. The filter and pump are drained and stored away in the garage. I lowered the water level to 4-6" below the skimmer. Put air balloon in, and put cover...

Great thanks a lot. That link to the Taylor photos Jason posted was very helpful.

Ok, I will give that a try. When they say the black dot should disappear they mean that the water should be opaque enough that I don't see it at all right?
