QUESTION About Vacuuming "TO WASTE"

[PopcornGirl]

Thanks, SJ!
Well, I did it.
I opened the drain faucet (and it really is just that: a faucet like you would see on the side of your house) and vacuumed and my filter pressure does not appear to have gone up at all, so maybe most of the waste went out of the line.
I really hope so because I just brushed down the walls again and I will definitely have to repeat this whole process tomorrow!
Thanks again,

Hi, Summer,

Your dedication to keep your pump running 24/7 is terrific. Again, your willingness to stick with it 'til your water clears shines thru!!

That said, it would not be a killer if you shut down for several hours to clean your cartridge. Just don't do it IMMEDIATELY after you've added bleach. You could bring your Cl back up to 20ppm (have you heard that before? ), then run the pump for maybe another 20-30 minutes to distribute the Cl and then shut 'er down.

That's a good idea to vacuum with that valve open. You're gettin there!!

Thanks, Dave! That's good to know.

I'm really starting to get the hang of this (I love that bleach calculator!)... And you should see my pool... it's starting to look GOOD again!
I'll post a pic once it's completely clear.
