    I’m new to the pool ownership ... I have a salt water pool... I can only use the vacuum with my pump at speed 4 (max) so that It creates suction ... is the vacuum u have different from that?

    I have green dust on the floor of my pool should I try to vacuum to waste or to filter. I just don’t think vac head will pick up I have lil wheels and they say not to use brush type with gunite pools so any suggestions greatly appreciated.

      vacuum to waste is best but loses a lot of water. If its very fine dust then vacuum to waste.

    Hello, I got small pool with small light blue mosaic inside. I can get clear water in the pool but the water inside the filter gets light blue colour same as the mosaic after 8 hour filtering. PH and Clorum normal and using algicide. Can you tell me the cause. Can it be the mosaic tearing apart in dust particles? Or is there any kind of algae that has light blue colour?ThanksJorge Dias

  • @TTSetters

    Pool Rx. No losing a lot of water due to vacuuming because you’re smart and get a robot vacuum (like nautilus cc plus)I backwash maybe every 3 weeks? When it rains a lot in summer I backwash when high water level. No algae issue in 2 years. Pool Rx Last 6 months. Every year $50 for 16000 gal pool perfect all the time Sure calcium and alkalinity you’ll have to keep in check along with ph when you shock but no big deal.

    I have a cartridge filter instead of sand filter. There is no option to bypass filter and go straight to waste. How to clean the bedrid out in this case? I do have a robot and I tried but it just stirs it up more and seems the particles are so fine it goes right through the robot.

      Water Clarifier for Cartridge Filters.
      Floc of you have a sand filter.
      Don't use Floc on cartridge filters if you don't have a bypass because you will clog the system and will have to replace the whole cartridge just to find out the new one will break too.

    Is the waste and drain the same? I only have drain position.

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  5 лет назад

      if you select drain and the pool water exits directly without going through the filter, then its correct. You can hear when the water is going through the sand filter. You don't want the dirt to be drained through pool filter, straight to waste.
