Hi all! New here, and I have maintained a pool previously, but my filter system was much more "idiot proof" than the one at our new house, it had one handle that you simply turned to what you wanted it to do, the one now has levers all over.
Last summer our pool guy rocked it, but this summer he has been awful, billing us when he clearly hasn't been here, algae growing and cloudy. I have no problem taking over this maintenance, but, besides turning it on to just cycle, I'm lost! So I took some pictures of the way the pump is set up, please excuse the mess around it, we are completely redoing the backyard and have had workers pouring cement and moving rocks and a new fence installed. I have managed to get most of my levels in check but I am, having some issue with the FC but I imagine it's because I have been battling algae, and can't figure out how to get the vacuum or creepy crawler to work.
So excited to have found this site, I am sure it will be very helpful!
