Well, had a few problems with the DE filter and then we got a bunch of unseasonal rain that dumped a lot of crud in our pool. Things are pretty much clear now, but with a thin layer of dead algae and dust on bottom. VERY close to crystal but the weather hasn't been cooperating. I would call...

I am so freaking excited! Look: Two days ago: I turned my filter off today because we were going to be out of town and I didn't want to blow it up. This was a sight to come home to :-D Progress...we are on day 7. I wish I had known about using 5mL and 1 drop is 1ppm...seriously. I am...

I've checked and there's not a lot of debris at the bottom of the pool. I have been running the filter 24/7 and backwashed a couple times, but I read up on DE filters and I'm afraid that I haven't been adding enough filter media after backwashing. Tonight I plan to completely clean the filter...

I am a science teacher so I consider myself above average in following directions. I feel I have followed the SLAM directions but my pool still looks the same (it has been 2.5 days so far). My chemistry (using the K-2006): FC- 18 (keeping it here religiously) CC- 1 CYA- 55 pH- 7.2 Filter...
