    DE added to Sand Filter. ???

    I just added 1cup of DE diluted in water to my sand filter. I was expecting a pressure increase but I actually lost 3psi almost immediately. Should i continue to add DE until i reach my 1 psi gain? Or is there another issue going on?

    Loosing Water

    There are no visible leaks on not around the skimmer area. The pool is clear but dirty you can see the bottom but cloudy. The water seems to be saturating the area under the skimmer basket between the return. I'll post pics later I'm headed to work now. The area almost seems to be coming...

    Loosing Water

    Ok, I thought I found where my pool was producing water but obviously not. Its still losing water. I know the general direction since the area is saturated. But how do specifically find the leak? Thought it was a plumbing issue, but seems to be something else. Ugh first opening is going to...

    Pump Basket Issue

    I haven't completely removed the lid... When I turned it to remove it water was coming out at a pretty high rate. I immediately closed it as not sure. The pump is off during this process. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    Pump Basket Issue

    Opened today .... issue

    I was prepared to SLAM after uncovering, but assuming draining more water and replacing some with clean would potentially lessen the length of SLAM needed, Its pretty swamp like right now after the dump.

    Opened today .... issue

    Water was Green and Slimey, The cost of the bleach could out weigh the cost of the refill. Pool never got yucky last year so I didn't have to do any SLAMS just daily maint..

    Opened today .... issue

    OK, we pulled the cover off the pool. In doing so we dumped all the lovely algae water and leaves into the remotely clear pool. Now I have to decide whether to drain it and eat the water cost or run the pump to clean it all out via the circulation system. Any thoughts on how low I can drain an...

    Winter Cover

    In the Artic Armor install instructions it says water should pool on the cover to help hold it down? Is that how its supposed to be or isn't that the reason you use the Rafts to high center the middle if I understand correctly.

    1st set of numbers

    Speed Stir Question.... Do I need to add my drops of reagent then stir, or can I start it stirring and add while its stirring. I didn't see any specific instructions about not doing that, but I don't want to get bad numbers by doing that.

    Re: New AGP today almost Negative, this is getting comical. The west side of my house is still to wet so they will come tomorrow. She was worried that bringing the tractor in and out of that side of my yard would trash it pretty good. I'm sure it would, its just getting old. 47 days into...

    Re: New AGP today almost :( No go today. The owner of the PB co. came by and looked at the yard. The spot for the pool was dry enough. But the entrance to the yard wasn't and she said they would destroy it if they were to run the tractor thru there with all that sand several dozen...
