    Vacuum to waste or filter? Sand filter.

    Tornado made a huge mess in my pool that I just recently got ready for swim season. I got most of the cedar debris with my net and what ever the Polaris was able to get. I will need to vacuum the rest out. I'm unsure of the setting I should put the valve on. Thanks!

    low pressure from jet

    I recently switched over to sand filter from cartridge filter. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the low pressure from the one jet. Another issue also arise after the switch. The baby pool which sits higher than the pool itself empties when the pumps are off. Seems like water is...

    CYA dropped pretty quickly

    I've been very busy for the past three weeks. Terribly to tired to maintain the pool. I have been doing only the very minimum as far as adding chlorine. There were times when I would not add chlorine for two days straight. Anyhow, there was never some huge algae bloom. Could it have been that...

    When testing CC's

    When I get the FC reading and add reagent 3 for the CC reading I can not tell any change in the color. I know something is growing in the pool. Why cant I see any change in the CC's? Am I misunderstanding something?

    It's been a while since I have studied volume and area. Is there an easy way to tell what level the water has to be to determine how much water is drained?

    Constantly adding acid since starting the BBB. ????

    FC 3 CC 0 pH at least 8 TA 110 CH 260 CYA at 40-50(added stabilizer to raise cya from probably 10 last week). Is this the nature of BBB? Adding 3/4 a gallon every 2-3 day's(muratic acid)?

    CYA on the rise.

    FC=1.5 CC=0 pH=(8) TA=100 CH=130(I had to do a refill(50%drain) to lower CYA and it dropped my CH). CYA=30(it was 100 before the drain). My pH has been on the rise since I did the drain. I have had the pool just over two years and never had a problem with the pH. I've had other problems but...

    Hello to all!

    Since I am only allowed 60,000 characters I will keep this short. I have an IG pool installed two years ago this April. I'm still learning and I am amazed how little most seasoned pool owners know about their pools. I'm more amazed by how much pool supply stores think they know. I had a...
