Bump.......Help ! :mrgreen:

Does anyone here have any experience with an Aqua therm or Sun catcher type solar heater? I am thinking of getting one and want some opinions. Thanks !

Hayward's website should have a blow up of your filter with a parts list. You should be able to look at it and figure out what you need to do. What is the model #, maybe I can help

Thanks for the help !! Should I use the Algaecide after I get the pool straightened out?? I wanted to use the BBB method exclusively but since I have it, is it worth using? Also, I have alot of trees in my yard and get lot of leaves and pollen. Does this contribute to algae problems? I have an...

BTW......I have a 1/2 gal. of AquaChem 20% Algaecide, should I use it? I bought it 2 weeks ago before I found the TFP website. Can it hurt what I am doing? Does it raise CYA?

I have the FC @ 20 and I just added another 182 oz of bleach. I will check the pool chemistry in the am. I also retested the CYA and it was 90. Its a little tricky as the black dot goes away but if you move you can kinda see it, sort of subjective to a point. Still way to high. Plan is to kill...
