So it's off to get some DE this morning. I have never used it before but I will give it a try. The floc scares the crud outta me but if the DE does not improve it that will be my next try. Thanks guys..will keep posting pics.

I am VTW on a daily basis. There are a few spots left to clear but part of what you see is shadowing from the surrounding trees. I should try and take a pic over the weekend when I am home at full sun.

Filter is running 24/7. Has good output. In the middle (pool is dish) there may be a handful of leaves I can't reach to get out yet. That will be this weekend now I can see there are no dead critters in there.

Hello again there everyone. I have had continued good luck with my pool after I found you a few years ago. But now not so good and I need advice. I have read back up on the basics and can't seem to figure it out. Husband left the pool cover off all winter :rant: and of course I am trying to open...

Hi Everyone... I am halfway there with the vacume to waste. This sludge is about 2 inches thick so it is slow going. Have to stop and wait for water line to re-fill. Is there any tips or tricks to doing this? It took me about 1.5 hours to get to this point and I am refilling from a well...

Thanks guys...I have been on the phone with the company that USED to make my filter to get some documentation. I am a dog chasing it's tail getting this stuff out but it looks like it's back to the good 'ol leaf rake for me so I can vacume that junk to waste. Then I guess I will see what she can...

Hello Everyone... This is the stuff I am battling. I have a ton of bleach in AGAIN, water is quite clear except for this stuff at the bottom that smells like seaweed. When I vacume it goes straight through and back into water. It clogs the auto cleaner that is on a seperate filtering system...

Just a bit of information for all users looking into test kits. A week ago I ordered a test kit that I was not happy with at all. So today I took the advice of these pool gurus and purchased a TF100 test kit to get the best testing possible. Now keep in mind I ordered it at 12:30 today. Can you...

Thanks to all replies...I will invest in a truckload of bleach and continue on. I will get some pics in tomorrow and maybe it will add to the adventure. No offense taken...you are trying to help and it is most appreciated!!! Hopefully I can get this going soon. At this point I am looking into...

Thanks for such a fast response...there is noothing on the pump tag to tell me it's size. I have done a ton of research on it and come up empty handed. It is a Baquacil Workhorse that is not made any longer. On the tag is says HP-------no number.(Gotta love previous owners attention to details...

Hello to all. I have been doing some reading up on your site and I am stumped so please forgive my ignorance. I have not maintained a pool in over 15 years so here goes. Purchased a home at foreclosure...GOOD for me...also obtained an AG that has not been opened in 2.5 years..BAD for me. I have...
