Until it's gross when trying to clean it. With several trees around mine I change it weekly.

Hmm maybe because there's still pollen I'm not fully seeing. But my water is very clear so can't complain. Guess I'll keep switching them out
Change frequency will vary with the falling crud. Mid season will be much less than now.

Mine tend to break my skimmer basket if i let them get too clogged so I keep an eye on it & wash it out as needed. Toss when holey. I usually keep a couple in rotation for quick swaps. I remove them completely when large debris is happening.
I have a hydrotools swimline basket - hopefully your hayward one isn’t so prone to breaking. I keep spares on hand because of this.

Pick up a spare weir door too..
they tend to break when you need them most in my experience
Sounds good lol don't want to be caught without one.
Tested the FC today and it's at 7. So went ahead and turned the swg on for 6 hours.
I overshot CYA because it's been at 80-90 depending on the day I test lol. But it works out for the swg

Count it as 90 and follow the
FC/CYA Levels accordingly. I prefer to run a little hot and aim for 10% of my cya for fc. Its easy to remember and gives me wiggle room.
A little more is better than not enough!

Funny story. I go to the in-town pool builder/store and they simply don’t use the high temp unions. I called up two pool stores in Springfield and neither of them had a clue. Sigh.
Ordered the CMP brand from Amazon.

On another note, I PM’d Harley because we have the same Jacuzzi pump/filter combo. My MPV will not fully seat into the filter. I placed my 200# bulk on it with plenty of lube and it wouldn’t budge a millimeter. I called In The Swim and they’re sending out a new o-ring. Perhaps it came with the wrong size, so we’ll see.
I, too, am hard plumbing my set-up along with burying the 5-6 foot runs.
