Good deal! Gonna go do it now. Thanks for your reply. Just for my knowledge, what kind of problems would indicate that the spider gasket needs to be changed?

So I have a sand dollar sd60 sand filter that has started giving me a problem. I will use the vac to clean the pool and the next morning silt / the stuff I just vacuumed out is back in it. Not all of it but a lot of it. The filter is 11 years old and the sand was replaced 7 years ago when we...

Awesome!!! Thank you

So my FC dropped from 16 to 15 over night. I added more to bring it to about 16 this morning at 6am. My neighbor added 128 oz at noon. At 4:30 it tested at 8.5 so I added more to bring it to 16. That seems like a lot of loss in a day given my neighbor added some and I only lost around 1 last...

Will do!!!

So I checked the fc this morning and it had only dropped to about 15 from 16 last night. I guess the last couple days of me shocking started the slam without me even knowing I needed too. Should I still get my neighbor to come over and give it a dose of bleach while I am at work? Maybe instead...

Ok, just looked and it wasn’t the turtle. It was an aquabot pool rover. Have you used it? Just curious as to how they compare.

Just looked and boy is that thing expensive!!!

I had a robotic about 9 years ago and it didn’t work to well. I think it was called a turbo turtle! I will do my research on the dolphin though.

I am fixing to be in the market for a new pool cleaner and was curious as to what y’all use. I have been using Wanda the whale for several years and she has done ok. I was just wondering if there was something better. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fast reply. Ok, I just raised it to a shock level of 16. I will get up in the morning and check it to add bleach to get back to 16 before I go to work. Would it be ok if i get my neighbor to come over at noon to add a jug of bleach which is 128 ounces? That would get it back up...

So my motor on my pump went out about two weeks ago and it took a week for a new one to arrive. While waiting I tried to keep the water clear by adding bleach daily but in the end, it turned a little cloudy. After installing the new motor, I can’t keep chlorine in it. It’s super clear but still...

Awesome!!! Thank you

It's about 36 hours old

I have just installed a Hayward aquatrol on my 24' AG and when I turned it on to my sunrise the salt reading on the readout is already at 2800. I don't have the generator turned on yet since I am going to get good levels with bleach first. Going to the store now to buy salt to have on hand...

Great!!!! Thanks for your help.

I just replaced my 7 year old 24' metal AG pool BBB with a 24' AG resin SALT pool due to the old pool rusting so bad. I have almost full of water and will start her up tomorrow. What method should I use to start up? Do I just get my parameters like cya, alkalinity, ph and free chlorine in check...

I hope he has it cleared up by now considering that was posted May 6th of last year. :)

I currently have a 24' round above ground thats about 8 years old that has a few problems; I have decided instead of fixing it, I am going to buy a new resin 24 above ground pool. The problem I have had with my current pool is the bottom always seems to get divots and foot prints over time...

That's about where mine is at, that being said it doesn't have any ill effects in the output so I am good to go.

To me that's cheap. If I buy 10.5% at my local pool store, it's $3.75 per gallon. Seems really high to me but I pay almost $3 per gallon for 8% bleach.

Yep we got it fixed!!! Thank you for the help. Good grief , 44,000 gallons; that thing is huge. I can only imagine how much bleach you would go through on a daily basis.

BINGO!!!!! Once I started restricting the flow a little I started getting a suction through the flow meter. Thanks for the help, this really is a great forum with great people.

Will do!!! Now if I can get this dang liquidator to work I will be set.

I bought a liquidator to go in my above ground pool but it isn't working right. I have my feed line hooked to the pump basket drain and it's not pulling a suction. My pump is running on high and it's outing out a ton of pressure into the pool but still not sucking from the liquidator. I called...

Ok!!! I will keep the shock levels up and keep filtering.

Just checked it and at 16.5 now

Ok this is aggravating!!! I come home and it's worse than it was yesterday. I know I still have free chlorine available so why would it be worse now? Fixing to check chlorine now. Will report back.

Sounds good!!! I will continue slamming and running the filter. Also how much de should I add to the sand filter?
