    Baffled by intex sand filter behavior

    Thanks for the explanation aussieta. I did two rounds of backwash and rinse this morning. The gauge stays in the same yellow zone. So I guess I won't worry about it and just monitor for 25% increase to backwash again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HELP!!! - Pool over chlorinated

    I used the pool math calculator and it says from 0 to 80, I need 69 oz by weight. So I converted that into lbs and it came out to be 4.3125 lbs. So, I will use all the 4 lbs and I should be good to go.

    Richard320, thanks for the reassurance. So last question is should I hold off on running the SWG until my CYA is up to 70-80 and FC is lower to 4-6? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
