Before and after(ish)

Anytime I add water to my pool from my well I put the hose in the skimmer. You can see why. Marge is a dirty, dirty girl. Iron, bugs, pine needles (so,so many needles) and other unidentifiable stuff. I had only rose one psi over a month and a half but I knew it was ugly inside. Probably the best I’m able to do. Or willing. On a small note. This cheap 150 square foot was the only cartridge I could find in March for my size. It’s actually making do quite well. It’s been cleaned 3 times now which I don’t think is bad considering my environment. Kinda impressed really. If I can get a bigger one in this brand I just might. I’m under filtered for the size of the pool anyhoo. When the cartridge housing has run it’s course, I’ll upgrade. This system is rated for up to 200sq feet.

I do use skimmer socks. This stuff gets in when I suction vacuum, it goes straight to the pump trap. I can’t use the skimmer vacuum plate with my current vacuum. So to the dude wondering about the value of robotic vacuums, here’s a good reason to get one. Lol cleaning needles out of each fold is a job. Mostly a bad job but a job.
