Help green pool

[RobertScalchi]

Here is a picture. Of a eyeball return jet. You simply unscrew it from your return housing counter clockwise, attach the bag to a 90-degree elbow with the turn key hose clamp, screw it clockwise back into the return housing, and seat it gently, then back it off 1 turn. Takes 5 to 10 minutes to clean the bag out in the sink, and less than 60 seconds to re-install.

No special tools required.

Duda diesel bag in action after clearing pool in 5-7 days from green to crystal clear with SLAM and triple filtration. You can actually see a little bit of leaf and algae staining around the corner wall of the pool, because the bristles in my brush fell apart...lol I have to get a new one.

Any questions?

Oh, good. NOT!

I fixed your signature, but didn't know if you had a test kit yet. If so, which one?

I have the TF -100 kit. I am also confused with my frogger sanitizer should I have the cylinders it or not?

Out if it's possible

Holy cow I didn't know there was copper in there...I have blond hair. Thanks for letting me know

Your water is looking great, Robert! Got my elbow in today, and the 5 micron bag should be here tomorrow or Tuesday.

Robert where did you get that hose clamp? I am afraid I will buy the wrong one and it will rust in my pool. I never seem to get that right. Even my license plate screws rust. Can't they just label these things "rust free" lolol

"stainless steel" is the magic phrase you are looking for rust prevention.


While not the best solution I have been known to use a couple nylon zip ties in place of a hose clamp as well.

I had thought to zip tie it, I have a master rating with those ;o)

What they lack in longevity they make up for in expedience!

You can go to you're local auto parts store right at the register, they have those turnkey stainless steel hose clamps. Use those for ease of convenience, rather than a screwdriver or socket each time. The band is made out of stainless steel but the worm gear that tightens the band may be made out of regular steel may rust a little. It's a little rust it's no big deal, and shouldn't have any significant impact on your water as far as metals. If you want just try lubing it with some silicone grease.

The middle picture looks just like my return. Did you unscrew it from the pool to add the pipe for the bag? I'm worried that if I mess with my return I will RIP my liner

 

[RobertScalchi]

As long as the threads give easily on the eyeball jet for removal. The liner shouldn't be of too much concern. The housing that accepts the eyeball return jet is screwed into the external stem attachment outside your pool that you connect your hose to. The housing has a gasket behind it that gets torqued to that stem outside the pool, and to the gasket around the liner inside the pool if that makes sense? If you want I'll take pictures tomorrow to illustrate. The eyeball jet should just screw right out counterclockwise with minimal effort.

None of your pics are showing up for me?
I was curious on how this setup looks/works.

Sorry about the attachments deletion.

Thank you sir!!!

I am happy to report my pool is finally crystal clear. A few things I learn thanks to this community. Hair nets are awesome and cheap. Have patience lots of patience or you may get overwhelmed quickly. Finally once you do "get it" you really can tell what's going on by just looking at the water. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

 

[RobertScalchi]

Outstanding! Nice picture follow up. She's beautiful. Now that you have seen the water go from green to clear and have gained a sense of experience watching the water color change with the SLAM and the clarity change with the effective filtration. Now you do get it just by looking at the water. Now everything seems easy and at least in my case, I am addicted and empowered to helping to helping and teaching friends now maintaining there pools with TFP methods. Tired of seeing inexperienced pool store clerks and arrogant pool maintenance companies rob my friends blind.

Keep going and push for ultimate clarity and water chemistry numbers.
