Hi all,
This forum is great! There is so much info I am just trying to digest it all....
Here is my problem...
I just bought a house with a pool that has been neglected for two years ....To date, I think I have got most of the leaves out of the bottom (about 15 garbage bags full) as well as most of the other debris...I've been running the filter, adding shock, chlorine, etc..I even added algicide.....
Anyway, I have a Pentair DE Filter...I vacuumed the pool to "waste" per some advice I got from another forum...There was a lot of leaves in the skimmer basket as well as the basket that is up by the filter.....Now I feel like I am not getting the same suction. I think that water is going into my skimmer basket but also coming back out....I can see water a few inches below the surface moving away from the skimmer and the water on top moving into it....Any advice? I don't think the lines are clogged but could be wrong. I am still getting pretty good push out of the two jets located on the ends of the pool.
I appreciate any ideas! My goal is to have this thing clean in a few weeks time!
Thanks.
Brian
