They have a commercial running often now. It's got that awful annoying ai voice. Their marketing dept was too cheap to hire a real vo artist. I won't buy one solely for that.

I think that should work. My setup didn't have the plate so instead I got the hayward leaf canister. (It attaches between hoses) Works great and cost about the same iirc

I remember using some clear marine sealant at my old house/pool. It fixed the issue for me.

You might also look at the black & Decker vs. a lot of folks are happy w them.

There's a company that makes kits. https://mkratproofing.com/products/rat-proof-200

I held mine at an angle to slow it down.

Are you on a water softener? I thought some of those used salt and when they need a new charge the water is VERY salty. I could be wrong. I remember someone I knew had that exact issue. Their tap water got super salty if they didn't keep up on that.

The best method for prevention is ensuring your fc levels are never below the minimum. I've yet to have ANY algae issues, following that.

Sounds like a prime candidate for an swcg.

I got an LG OLED 4k c series about a year ago. It replaced a 720p Panasonic plasma. Best money I ever spent.

So glad you found it and it wasn't an unsolvable power company issue. Yay!

You might consider bumping your cya to 50. I had mine at 30 and it just wasn't enough. Bumping it to 50, my chlorine levels lasts longer as a result.

Let's see some pics of the issues.

You might try the dead fake bird trick someone mentioned. Worked well for others as well.

I've got a similar issue with trace iron. I'm planning on buying an RV water softener when I replace the liner. That way it will be filled with iron free water.

Letting shock powder sit on it will definitely lighten things up where it sat. I don't believe liquid chlorine caused it. I pour over the deep end jet while the pump is running. It disapates quite rapidly. The best thing to get the most liner life is making sure you only dose the max...

That's pollen.

Is your sand filter waste line plumbing going directly to your sewer? Someone had a leak like yours. It turned out the spider gasket in the sand filters multiport valve was leaking slowly out the waste line. So it leaked every time the pump was on. it was hard plumbed to the sewer so they...

I'm in Oregon and anything less than 50 ppm cya, I definitely lose more. Tried 30 the first year.

Sounds good but nobody really knows if the TA needs to be 90. My pool pH is happiest at a TA of 50. All pools are different.

The higher it goes, the more higher chlorine you have to maintain. 4 ppm is insufficient for a cya of 125. The minimum is 10, but 14-16 is best. https://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html Switch to using liquid chlorine with a cya of 30 and you won't have any issues like this. You'll also...

Try the overnight chlorine test. If there's a loss it's probably time for a slam.

Are the bubbles forming with the pump on low speed or reduced variable speed? That will also do it.

Can you post a set of water test results? I'd also do an overnight chlorine loss test. This sure does sound like algae. Beginning phase you don't really see it but it will clog a filter. A possibility.

I'd go Latham. It's what I have. They've been around a very long time.

Can you post a photo and what brand and model sand filter?

Are you brushing the pool every day at least twice? That's important.

Also make sure you sample from the same exact place. The best location imo is on the opposite side of a deep end return jet.

Definitely not normal. I think they owe you an explanation and maybe a few bucks back if they had to patch it during the install.

Was there at least a foot of water in the shallow end before he began cutting? That's the procedure as far as i know. Hopefully he didn't cut them in earlier than that.
