I have to get another Photobucket account to do that

I looked at my pool and types of pool surfaces yesterday, certainly looked like plaster. So would brushes and wheels be a problem?
I took some pics... but looking at it. Its all just blue!! I am not sure if you guys see it, you would be able to see it.
Tell you what, take a road trip. I will have a bottle of Scotch ready!

That is such a pretty pool! I LOVE the waterline and stair tiles!
That does look like it is a plaster pool.
You can use just about any vacuum head you want.

I finally got my stuff. So its time to vacuum. I just wanted to know, do i have to go anything special to the filter system to start vacuuming?
You're doing an excellent job! You listen and you learn and you ask questions. Keep up the good work!

Well what can i say... out of one mess and into another!
Yesterday the landscaping guys came over. Did the lawn. While they were doing the backyard they sprayed my pool with grass. Its a mess right now. Running the filter doesn't work. Its choked! No pressure is built up at all.

What brand & model of filter?
What do you mean by choked?
Have you emptied the skimmer & filter basket?
Post a pic of the filter & pump set-up.

Leaf net and fast. Check and clear your skimmer basket and your pump basket of the grass clippings. I would also call the lawn company and let them know that if they EVER did this again they would be FIRED!
Let me know what the baskets look like when you get done.

First of wanted to say thanks for the continued help.
After 1.5 days of continuous skimming the grass. I took apart the DE filter cleaned it. Filter is cleaned. Baskets are cleaned. Surface is 90% clean. Only the bottom is messy. I did the pH test today. The shade was in the 7.8 mark. Is that good?
Quite a busy weekend for me!!

After slugging out for 1.5 weeks in the heat, my pool is almost clean. Just a little bit more to go. So for testing the water, I looked at the guide at the top, for TC/FC test it said the to use the liquid R-0001/R-002. But i checked my kit, it doesn't even have to two solutions. Are there alternatives in the box to use for the test?
And two more questions:
1. After cleaning the mess, i know my DE Filter has surely taken a pounding, should i recharge my DE?
2. For the chlorine/bromine feeder, what should i do with that? I dont think it has any chlorine/bromine in it?

I am too lazy to go back and look so what test kit are you using? I use the Taylor 2006 so do not have the drop test kit for the TC.

oops forgot the feeder. Look inside it and make sure there are no pucks in it.
You do not need to do anything to it. You can leave it inline and use it with pucks when you go out of town or such. It will not hurt anything to leave it empty when it is not in use.

We don't test for TC...TC is just the sum of FC and CC. FC uses the 870 powder and 871 reagent. CC uses R003 and 871..
