Thanks for the help, that’s what I was leaning towards. I think going with the 60sqft would help compared to the 24sqft with less backwashing. I just have a straight port right now, so since I was going to have to replumb it I figured I would go with the MPV.

Hi I have a 27k gallon inground pool. I currently have a 2 Hp motor, all the plumbing is in 2” pipping, Hayward DE2420 filter that is bad and needs replaced. The filter unit is almost 10 years old, so I just want to replace to whole unit not just the DE filter insert. Can anyone recommend a...

Thanks, I'm going tomorrow to the supply house to pick up a new cap, hopefully it works lol. The caps date on it is 2011 even though we got the pump installed 2 years ago so it must have sat for a little while before it was used

Today I realized that my pump stoped working after it has been working fine all summer. I pump is only 2 years old, the motor makes a loud humming noise then shuts off ( which I think means it is over heating and tripping out on the thermal overload). I can spin the propeller freely so I know...

Yes the k-2006, couldn't remember right off hand lol

I have a Taylor test kit

Ok thanks, we struggled so much last year, we had the liner replaced and swg, had several issues with the company who installed the liner, it was a nightmare and I think we just never got the pool chemistry right, because we fault it all year, this year it seems we might have started out on the...

Ok so last year I replaced my swg and had troubles all last season getting my chlorine up in my pool even though I had a larger cell then I needed for my size pool, Hayward actually gave me the tcell 15 because of the issue I was having with no chlorine, so last year I had my pool running 12...

Yup, I slammed it hard

Update on the pool!! Currently is crystal clear and chemicals are nice and balanced, still getting the salt level up but pool is so much better than it was 3 days ago!!

Ok, I didn't know just thought it would keep me from having to backwash and lose so much de every hour lol - - - Updated - - - How do you check for ammonia??

Question?? Can I run my pump without putting DE in it because right now I'm having to backwash Atleast every hour?? Will it hurt to not use De until it clears out more, and also can I use clarifier to help with the cloudyness??

I have added 3 1 gallon bottles of shock to the pool, and also some muratic acid for the ph, the pool was green yesterday when I opened it and now today as you can see is just cloudy, have been having to backwash DE filter every hour or so because it keeps clogging up, will be adding cya to it next

ta 100 cya 0

Signature added!! Ph 8.2, fc 0,

Ok I will add more information

I just took the cover off my in ground pool and it is a swamp. This is the first time it's been this bad because normally I have it open before it gets this bad but due to a unusual cold spell it delayed me opening it. It is 27k gallon vinyle pool, so far I put 6 one pound bags of hth shock in...

I am looking to replace both my solar cover and reel. is their any covers or reels that anyone suggest to buy, like going with a higher mil. Plus is there any reels that are easy to operate. the one I used to have was a pain if you are by yourself trying to reel in the cover without having some...

whats oclt?

because when I first shock the pool The stains completely disappear, once the FC comes down to about 6.0 they start to reappear. that is why i think they are organic and CYA is 80

OK so I figured out that they are organic stains. I have shocked the pool and kept the chlorine elevated for a while now but soon as it starts to drop they slowly come back. should I try an enzyme chemical to see if that works??

when we use the home warranty they are sending a pool service company out, don't know if that will be today or tomorrow. but they said they will install what we want and i would pay the difference to the home warranty company if it cost more to get a better pump if they won't pay for it all. So...

Ok so I turned on my pump last night to check everything and the pump made a god awful sound through sparks everywhere and smoked then went out and wont come back on. guessing that means its done (of course I am having a pool party today out of all times for it to go out). the pool is a 20x40...

so how long should i leave a tablet on there, the pool is obviously full of water not empty, the are very light brown stains but they seem to be spreading? and it is vinyl so is it safe to try it?

it is in in ground with a vinyl liner i will try the chlorine tablet

so i put a vitamin C tablet on it and it didn't erase it at all. now what do I try? I have already tried shocking the water and that didn't work either

so if it is iron stains what do you use on them specially seeing they are all over the pool and seem to be spreading?

I opened my pool back in early april, and even after having it open i still have multiple light brownish stains all around the pool mainly on the bottom close to the walls and some in the middle. I think they are organic and turned my swg on high and shocked the pool but nothing has helped. Is...

thanks for the suggestion!!
