New Forum Member in Honduras

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I live in Honduras, in a small town near an Army/Air Force base located in pretty much the middle of the country. I just rented a house with a pool, my first ever.

I have a 4500 gallon in-ground concrete pool about 5 feet deep, with a 1 hp pump and an Aqua Tools AT3115 sand filter. It has one main drain (currently not performing very well), one skimmer, and three jets, one of which empties into a very small, separate "kiddie" section, connected to the main section with two very short 3 inch tubes.

The pool is probably 5-7 years old and I'm working through some issues, some of which I'll be asking about later, once everyone is sure I'm not a member of a vicious internet botnet intent on making everyone's life hard haha! As a first time pool owner, I could definitely use the help!
