Heavy rain advice

^Oops, I guess it shows that I've had 11 mostly carefree years! Checked pump again and found Hayward Super Pump Series Model # SP2605XT. It was installed in 2009 to replace my original.

Peeked at the AquaChem Sink & Sweep bucket and it looks good so far.

Quick update in case it can help others. The Sink & Sweep worked very well. I ended up doing two treatments/vacuums to waste, but found out later from my pool servicer that floc stays in the water a while, so the second dose might not have been needed. After round two, I let the water settle a few hours and it looked clear enough to restart regular filtering. In all, it took five days to completely get the clay out, but surprisingly, I only need some minor balancing. Thanks again for the advice.

Remember to maintain chlorine levels while it's raining.

For reasons I've never really understood, a lot of people to think that if there's chlorine when it starts raining on Monday, there will still be chlorine in the pool when it stops on Friday. Instead, they find algae on Friday, and then will post here asking why rain always causes algae to start in their pool?
