    Cleaner Tube Keep Getting Clogged!

    This is my 2nd year owning my pool. So far, no major issues! I have noticed, however, that I'm having to clean out the filter/strainer that is in the end of the pool cleaner hose that connects to the side of the pool, where the water is pushed in to the cleaner to make it move. I'm over quota...

    Cleaner not working...

    I noticed that my cleaner pump is working, but my cleaner isn't getting enough flow to move on the bottom. I've also noticed a bit of a different sound in the main filter system...almost like a bit of a leak or something. I'm due to disassemble and clean the filters and then re-add some DE...

    Filter running at 40 PSI???

    Seems like ever since I disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my DE filter it's been running at a higher PSI. What did I screw up and what are some potential solutions and/or troubleshooting tips the almighty TFP crowd might have?? Thanks in advance!!!

    Drain Pool?

    I need to drain some water because my CYA levels are pretty high. Given my equipment, what's the preferred/easiest/best method of draining some water? Also, what's an appropriate amount to drain and refill with fresh water? Thanks!

    DE Filter Servicing?

    I'm having a tough time searching the forum, so if I'm missing a thread, my apologies. I've got a Pentair DE filter. I do not know how often I should be backwashing, how much DE to put back in the water after backwashing and how often to clean the filters. Again, sorry if this has been hashed...

    Howdy all. I'm new here, still, and am STILL not comfortable with my setup. I have a chlorine pool (23k gal) with an additional UV filter. I'm just starting to get in to the pool school stuff and want to know what effects the UV filter has on the greater chemistry in terms of rates/ratios/etc...

    I broke my Kreepy Krauly tonight! It's model number is LL505G, made by Pentair. I broke the valve that connects to the side of the pool. I'm *TRYING* to find the correct replacement part, but I'm not sure I'm finding it...any suggestions are MUCH appreciated. The part that screws in to the...

    Algae in Bubble?

    Ok, don't yell at me....first legit post:) I have yet to get "pool schooled", but did notice this and wanted to raise it before doing anything else. I also searched and couldn't find an answer, probably because I don't know the terminology. In the picture, I've circled a little glass/hard...

    Another Texan!

    Howdy all, I'm from the Austin suburb of Leander, TX. Grew up in Central Texas, so I'm not one of those transplants<grin>. We recently moved in to a home with an AWESOME pool and now that spring is here, I need to start learning how to manage it! :) Assume nothing with me, I'm ignorant and...
