sandfilter

Hi, we live in the okanagan, BC. Getting allot of ash in our pool due to wildfires. Clean the pool and next day there is black sediment on bottom of pool. Chemistry has been near perfect, had to lower ph that’s about it, pool is crystal clear, just the black sediment keeps coming back. Seem to...

Hi everyone! In a nutshell, I feel like I've never seen my gauge increase more than few PSI following a backwash. It runs around 16psi --- and can stay that way for weeks. Invariably, I get antsy and choose to backwash even though water flow from the returns feels good. Could this just be a...

Hi everyone! This may seem pointless as I have not bought my pool yet but I know it will be a large size Intex Ultra Frame. I know the pump that it comes with is junk, so I was looking on Amazon and found excellent reviews for the 16” Intex Krystal Clear Sand Pump. It’s the largest one they...
