debris

Hi guys, I'm a relatively new pool owner (two seasons now), and I have two potentially-related questions. Background info: Aquasport 52 (17' x 32', oval, ~14k gallons) Flat bottom, no deep end Two years old, set up last April I live in north Alabama, pool is in partial or full sun all day...

Hey guys - wondering if you guys could help me figure out an issue I'm having with my pool regarding sand/dirt in the pool. Right now, I have to vacuum it once a week, which I know doesn't sound terrible, but that week is me waiting until it gets bad enough to where I need to vacuum it. There...

I have increased the contrast on this photo to show a little more clearly, however I’m seeing this translucent debris on top of my pool that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve been in SLAM for 8 days and all my levels are great with the exception of having this stuff and a bit of cloudiness I’m...

Hello TFP! Recently I noticed a lot of dirt on the bottom of my pool. We've had some monsoons recently so I figured it was just extra dirty from that. I got out the manual vacuum and started vacuuming. While vacuuming I noticed debris coming out of the returns, It looks like almost anything...

My husband and I are first year pool owners. Whenever we vacuum, the pool looks great for a few hours to a day, and then the whole bottom is covered in little mounds of black debris. We’ve replaced our cartridge filter and vacuum head. A technician has come out and serviced our filter. He said...

I’m a first time pool owner and my pool was super dark green after opening. I have an above ground 18’ round 4’ deep and I can’t see more than about a foot down into the water. I have tried manually vacuuming as much as I can from the bottom but it is hard to tell what I’m doing since I can’t...

First time pool owner, first time posting, and asking for your patience with me to understand this. My husband and I recently bought a house and we’re doing kitchen & bedroom renovations. The contractors will be accessing the space through the back doors. Our flooring guy mentioned debris...

Bought the Polaris Alpha IQ+ robotic cleaner and I love it so far. It picks up leaves and debris quite well. Our pool has colored glass beads as part of it's finish, and I noticed that the cleaner picks up a few glass beads every time it cleans the pool floor/walls. Is this normal? The plaster...

I hope I am in the correct area with my question - newbie here. My Paramount PCC 2000 in floor cleaning system does not have the optional debris canister, so where does the debris go? To the skimmer - then to the filter pump basket? Or should I be checking somewhere else? Thanks!

I'm curious to know where everyone dumps their skimmer contents. With an inground pool, just dumping in the grass/flower beds could result in it getting blown right back in. I have a 13 gallon kitchen garbage can that I use, but when it rains the can collects water becoming smelly and heavy...
