Our filter (Pentair DE 60) base cracked at the end of last summer. We finally got a new one, so you can imagine what the water looks like now (plus we have always had an issue with fighting black algae). We have had to SLAM it evey spring for the last few years (mostly do to neglect on our part).
Anyway, it’s a swamp now. I’m looking for recommendations on whether or not we should drain it and start over or SLAM it. I’ve read & heard some about a pool cracking if it is drained. I also would like thoughts on whether or not we should use the old grids (not in great shape) until it is mostly clean.
