flow rate

I will try to keep this short, but if any additional information, picture, or videos will help, please let me know. I will premise all this that I had a complete renovation of my pool last May 2023. Everything but the hole in the ground was replaced (pipes, skimmers, drains, pump, liner, etc.)...

My pool has 2 skimmers and 1 main drain at the bottom. I'm new to owning this pool but it's been in the ground for close to 30 years. We replaced all the equipment this year and I'm not getting my SWG to have enough flow under 2200rpm on my VSP right after a backwash. A couple days after...

So, this will be my 2nd year with this Bestway 16'x48" seasonal pool. Had the cartridge pump fail after 2 months and I replaced it with Sand filter pump and have had great success. Combined with learning water chemistry from this site, I have done well. Thank you all! I just purchased an Intex...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to TFP and to pool ownership. We purchased a home with an 30k gallon IG gunite pool 2 years ago (this is our third summer). Here is a quick run down of the first issue I want to tackle with this pool: Year 1 We swapped out the old pump for a VS-SVRS pump and had no issues...

Hello everyone! In the past year my wife and I purchased a home with a pool that I believe was built late 80s/early 90s. It has been a bit of a crash course learning how to care for the pool. Now I have multiple questions for the community to see if I can get some advice on what I should...
