    Weird Things On Water Surface

    Thanks woodyp. That very well could be pollen as today is windy and the pollen count is also high. For some reason I thought the pollen would be greener. Outside of running the pool pump and allowing the skimmer to pick up the pollen which could take a while, do you know of another way of...

    Weird Things On Water Surface

    I have slammed the pool, and the pool water chemistry is currently balanced. Running the pool pump, and pulling from the skimmer pool seems to put a small dent removing this stuff. I am not sure exactly where to ask this question, but can anyone identify this clear-ish stuff floating on the...

    Trouble with fine brown type of dirt

    It was a combination of both. SLAMing the pool allowed me to see what was really down there. Come to find out besides the dirt there was a ton of nails and dead leaves. I ended up attaching a filter bag to to the pool outlets to get the dirt out.

    SWG Pump Time and Chlorine percentage

    Thanks. This is exactly what I am looking for. That post should be a sticky. - - - Updated - - - This might be a silly question, but can you mix and match the controller with the cell? For example, can I keep my Saniclear 20 controller but connect it to a Aqua Rite T-15 cell?

Seeing that the saniclear 20 outputs a maximum chlorine of .33kg (~.7 pounds) is there a cool formula to determine what...

    Trouble with fine brown type of dirt

    I am thinking I will need to SLAM. So far, the pool is finally clearing up after adding bleach. I didn't think the water could get any clearer. I will do the OCLT and possibly SLAM the pool once I get a reliable pool test kit. Thanks!!!!

    Trouble with fine brown type of dirt

    For the last few days it has been running 24 hours. I have backwashed the filter when the pressure of the filter goes above 25 PSI without any real luck. Although I have had this dirt stuff in the pool for weeks, could algae cause something like this if the chlorine is working? A few days...

    Trouble with fine brown type of dirt

    Hello everyone. After 3 months (long story) I am finally able to start maintaining my pool. I know there were days where the FC levels have either been 0 or very close to 0 as I have been testing with strips. So far, the pool has been pretty clear to a point where I can see the shallow end...
