    Wow.

    It's hard to believe the guys who did this:






    also did this:




    Great looking pool. Hydraulic design? Not so great.

    Has anything changed in the last year or so? What I'm trying to get at is this: has the pool ever worked really well in it's current configuration?

    Is that 2" or 1.5" pipe?
    Is that a Sta-Rite pump? Which model?
    Are you using Baquacil?
    (Your water looks a bit sudsy -- which Baquacil (Softswim, Revacil, etc.) can do. Baquacil will definitely plug a DE filter.)

    But, have you talked to the guy who built that pool? If anyone knows how to trouble shoot that piping system, he does. I'm thinking he's the guy who knows how to get it to work best.

    Best wishes,
