Then you can take off the pump basket lid with the other pump on. Once a pool pump is turned off, there is no trapped pressure.

SLAM Day 3-4
Test result below.
Today was day 4 of running the pump without filter. When do you all recommend I put the filter back or should I run without it for a few more days?
Water is cloudy with slight greenish tint.

When you have a full or at least half a day put it back on filter. You will need to babysit it and backwash/add de fairly often to start.
Good progression. Stay at it.

SLAM Day 5-6
Holy cow! I couldn't believe my eyes this morning. I could actually see the bottom of the shallow end. Water literally cleared overnight. Gotta keep SLAMing though until it's sparkling clear!
Check out this spa pump basket. Never cleaned in 3 years!
On the other hand, after I cleaned the basket and put it back in, the spa pump won't turn on.
What could've gone wrong?

Well. Go through the systems and see that everything is set for it to run. No clicks, hums, etc?
Nothing. No clicks/hums. I had to hit the lid open with a rubber mallet. Possibly something's loose inside...

Might be. Do you have a multimeter? If you feel comfortable with it, test for voltage at the pump.
Hello guys I'm back again. Water became completely clear last week so I thought I was done with SLAM. There was no overnight FC loss so I let the FC drop to 5 this past Monday.
However there's some fine dust on the bottom that swooshes away when I brush. I've been running the pump two days straight and it won't go away. I noticed FC dropped to 0.5 today so I think there's algae in there again and chlorine is fighting it?
My question is how high should I bring up the FC? Back to 12 or somewhere less?
Almost done I promise!
