In my experience there are 2 things you can do. Either buy a poly wrap and hope it works or you can buy a splice and put it in to the right toward your other return. This should give you enough slack to redo your T correctly. If you cut a section of that HDPE out you can take it to a plumbing...

Thanks guys. Im not sure what I'd do without yall and TFP. I'll check it out as soon as I get home today.

I cant see the the drain right now. The pool is still cloudy from the slam. I have raked and raked around the drain and i dont think there is a bunch of debris there but im not positive. Im betting its the leaky valve. How do I fix that? Could i put a manual valve in the backwash line down flow...

When i back washed it last night there was water in the site glass. What i dont understand is how the water level dropped so rapidly when all i did was run the filter all night. The pump and filter were still going this morning but there wasnt much water coming out the return jets. And the water...

Yes I think so. Ive never seen it because we bought the house a few months ago and the pool was green. But i can feel it when i rake for leaves and brush.

I am in the process of slamming our pool. I have been filtering and backwashing since last Friday. Everything was going good until I went out to test this morning and my water was about 4" below skimmer level. I knew it was getting close to me need ing to add water and I planned to do that this...

Wow that did it guys. I didnt know there was a filter there. I feel like an idiot. Definetly not the first time ive felt that way. Thanks for the help!

Are you referring to the skimmer basket Mark? Im not sure of another one if you arent.

Could I have a clogged return pipe somewhere?

My clean pressure is usually around 18psi. I know that the motor is a 1hp. The equimpment is old and wasnt maintained very well by the previous owner. Most of the stickers are gone from the equimpment. Sorry i dont have any more info. No bubbles in the skimmer basket but i do have bubbles coming...

Newbie pool owner here. Im slamming pool for the first time. Its very green. Ive ran the pump/filter for hours before and had no problem but now my pressure is dropping from 20 psi (where it usually is) to almost nothing. Ive wasted and backwashed and that helps for abt 15 min then back to...

Thanks Woodyp.

I was doing research here and didnt see any info on how a rainy forecast effects your pool while SLAMming. Tomorrow when i plan to strat the forecast is ok, but Sunday we may get 1/2 an inch of rain. Any ideas?

Thanks guys, I knew yall would be heads up on it!

I found a good deal on this test kit. Not sure if it will do all I need for a TFP. What is the difference between the 2005 and the 2006? I couldnt find the 2005 on this site anywhere but im not very pc savvy either. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, Ive been checking the site out for a few weeks trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can. About a month ago We bought a house with a neglected pool. We will start the process of making it sparkle again in a few weeks. Im sure Ill be asking some questions! Hope everyone has a great...
