ok, our original filter didn't have one at all so I wasn't too worried about it. I'll see about how to add one. Thanks!

Not sure about the waste line, I'll see if I can figure it out. I haven't run the waste cycle since I got it going again. Our pressure gauge is actually broken after freezing winter of 2021. I generally check the pump basket every day and it's clear, not sure about the impeller. After your...

filter picture. I couldn't upload the movie

For a couple of weeks, I was having to prime the pump basket in order to get the pump started. Eventually that wasn't enough and I would only get a little movement with air bubbles coming out of the jets (seemed to move around from jet to jet) and little to no movement through the skimmer. I had...

Just saw the thread below where someone installed a bulkhead - he actually tried something like that which is what but probably did incorrectly which made the problem worse.

Husband inadvertently destroyed the plug on our Pentair Tagelus 60D sand filter while trying to deep clean and fix plug issues. Tried new plugs but still leaking, now worse than ever. Pentair Tagelus 60D sand filter leaking at drain plug after attempt to deep clean Now just recirculating while...

Thanks for reply - no one answered the first day or two and I thought I had replies sent to my email so I thought no one had responded and just now checked.. I will look this over. Have just been recirculating while I research new filters so I'll see if this helps at all.

Wanted to deep clean sand filter according to instructions on sticky on this forum. Watched the videos, asked my husband to help. First mistake, he watched a couple seconds of the first video where they are putting the drain plug on and by the time he got to it thought we were supposed to take...

Thank you!

Hi all, I searched the forum but didn't see an answer to this - maybe it's too basic. I had about 10 4inch square tiles fall off the pool over the winter - I guess the water got too high when it was way below freezing. What is the best way to replace them? If I'm not handy, is this something...

Yes, it's making noise but not moving water. And it must have happened pretty suddenly because it was great about 2 hours earlier. We don't have any kind of pressure gauge.

Thank you to everyone with your help with this! We'd been swimming and happy for the past 2 days when the pump stopped working again. Unlike when we had the electrical issue last week when it was completely dead, the motor is running but there is no flow. It was fine this morning, my husband...

Sorry, just rechecked that. CC was .2. I'd been adding those numbers to compare my numbers with pool store. That was actually TC. And I should have mentioned the pH, TA, and Calcium Hardness numbers were from before I started the shock.

Thank you all for your advice. As an update, I was out of town for most of the last 2 weeks and couldn't get my husband or any pool guy interested in rinsing out the filter or adding DE. Kept the pump running and when I got back last Friday I could actually see the deep end drain although water...

Still haven't figured out drain ...the repairman said you can't always feel the flow. I haven't been able to talk to him directly yet to discuss. Is the pool safe to use if numbers ok? I haven't been.

I've been out of town most of the last week. Still running the pool with same results. Slightly clearer but still can't see bottom in deep end. Talked to 2pool repairmen (one came by when I was gone) both say we probably need to replace the sand in the filter since this should be done every...

Thank you! Now that you mention it I remember my husband saying last year that the drain at the bottom of the deep end didn't seem to be drawing water. Everything was great then so I didn't really think about it. I will look into this more, also the DE.

I've read through a few posts here with similar issues, but I think the difference I'm having is the pool is keeping chorine. Numbers Monday according to pool store, over 24 hours after adding chemicals, compared to my numbers with the Taylor K-2006 if different: FAC 3 TAC 3 CH...

Thank you for all your replies. I have not ordered a test kit yet but will soon. For what it's worth, from what I can tell on the strips my numbers are about 300 for Total Hardness (same as CH?) 3 for TC 1.5 for FC between 7.2 and 7.8 for pH, about 120 for TA The CYA of 60 number came from...

Hello I've been reading through this forum the past couple days. Our Haywood chlorinator sprung a leak so I was looking to find a replacement. In the meantime I've just been using Leslie's Power Powder Pro and testing daily to keep TC and FC levels in line. Could this cause any problems...
