    Default Thank you

    Thanks for the great info and suggestions. I have the service guy coming to look at the pump and filter on Thursday and then on Saturday I have "Pool School" at the store i bought it from. I'll bring a water sample then. It sounds like a combo if the issues. I do believe the pump is too large and also that we could have the fine silt in the water. Has any one used the "Slime bag" as indicated in the above link?

    Another thing you can try is pouring 2 cups of DE slowly into the skimmer waiting 5 minutes with pump running, tehn vacuuming the pool, this will increase your filtering capabilities immensely, after backwashing, you will have to add DE again - you will end up backwashing a lot because it really filters the dirt out well.
