I wish I lived near you Eric. The pool people where I live are terrible. I waited for 3 days for one and when I complained they said "So do you want to cancel or what?" When I told them that yes because I needed someone to show up when they say they will....they hung up on me. The next pool guy took two days to arrive, then after 13DAYS, the pool was still green and I never knew if or when he would show up. When I complained, he told me with some attitude that he was very busy. So I fired him. My kids were coming to visit so I called him almost two weeks before the visit. They have come and gone and my pool IS STILL GREEN!! I know a lot about pool cleaning and repair and I have done most of the work on my pool myself. With your GREAT videos, I will start to do it all myself again. SUBSCRIBED! Thank you for the help.

When vacuuming pool bottom the filter gets full, I back wash it several times and continue to vacuum then backwassh pool again and I repeat these steps, do I have to use DE powder on every back wash or just at the end when I complete all the vacuuming?

You should add DE each time you backwash as that’s what actually filters the water/catches the vacuum stuff. If you’re repeatedly having to backwash the filter then I’d recommend a split and clean. Even backwashing thoroughly you don’t remove all the DE, so over time, you need to do a complete cleaning to limit restriction from the excess DE build up.

Why not vacuum to waste so all of that stuff doesn’t end up in your filter?

Hello,...how many scoops (equal to 1 pound) do i add in a pool that measures 473.90 square meter? Thanks if you will answer
@ChlorineKingPoolService
4 ай бұрын
The pool size is irrelevant. It’s all based on the size of the DE filter. 1 scoop for every 12sqft of filtration area. So a 48 sized de filter will take 4 scoops.

@ChlorineKingPoolService

Did you use rinse mode? It could either be residual left in the lines when backwashing or something internally failed in your filter. Wait a day and add another half scoop and see if it passes through the returns. If you don’t see anything, all is good. If you do see it pass through then something has gone wrong with your filter. Hope this helps.

Hi Eric, I wanted to ask you if the DR Powder or any Salt that you add to your clients pool is part of your service fee like chlorine or acid, or do you charge extra?
@ChlorineKingPoolService
4 жыл бұрын
It's included in my service. However, if the salt is extremely low (more than 1000ppm) then I charge to add that to the pool. Once it's brought current, with no leaking, we will maintain it from there. DE powder is also included.

@ChlorineKingPoolService

It sounds like an air leak that isn’t allowing the water to get up to the fingers to coat them. I hope that makes sense.

@@ChlorineKingPoolService is that was the case, wouldn't I be getting air bubbles in the return lines? pressure is good at 12-13psi . The water has to come from the pool and to the bottom of the filter up through the fingers and then into the return lines so I'm not sure how the de powder is magically not sticking. I turned the pump on without the cover and the water raised all the way up. The water is most definitely reaching the top of the fingers as I wouldn't have a return to the pool. I asked the lady at my local pool place and she said she had no idea and I can't find this specific question anywhere on Google

I cleaned my filter and added a 10 scoop slurry of DE to recharge the filter grids. After starting the pump some DE came out of the return jets. Question: Is it okay to see DE come out of the pool return jets after cleaning the filter and recharging the grids?

Sometimes if you don’t put it in rinse mode there will be some de left in the plumbing snd shoot out briefly once our back in filter mode. To test if the grids have failed is to vacuum up the de on the floor. If that cycles back into the pool then the grids are bad. If it doesn’t then it was just some residual left over from backwashing.

Yes sir. The powder is what actually filters the water, not the grids. Also make sure you add the correct enough. Too little and the filter won't filter as well (bypass stuff) and too much and it will bog down the circulation (higher pressure).
