I have a two years old Hayward S210T filter on a 28ft AGP with a recurring problem of dirt bypassing the filter when we vacuum. I replaced the spider gasket assembly which didn't help. Then I deep cleaned the sand which didn't help. Finally I removed the lateral assembly and found a crack in...

We live in the country and have struggled with iron (0.16ppm), manganese (0.298ppm) and high alkalinity (399) in our well water. Every time I added chlorine the water would turn green. I was spending $200-300/yr on the Pink Stuff. It worked, but it was expensive. I tried filling the pool with...

We just bought a used 28ft x 4ft AGP, set it up and filled it from our well. We've had a small temporary pool up for several years and I have been able to manage the iron problem by adding Iron Myte as I fill the pool each spring and every time I add fresh water. I used 1" trichlor tabs and...
