Buying a house with a pool--need advice

[jmac31]

We have been running the filter for probably 14 hours a day. The problem I am having is that my impeller keeps getting clogged. I have cleaned it out 4 times today and it just keeps getting clogged. Any ideas on how to keep it from being clogged. Here is a link to the pump I have http://www.amazon.com/Pentair-Challe.../dp/B002ZJ3NC6.

I have been using the leaf rake. It just seems to be never ending. I raked stuff out for about 6 hours today. Minus the time I spent cleaning that stupid impeller. Regarding the GPM of my pump and filter. My filter is Sta-Rite HRPB24, it says 20gpm and I am not sure what my pump puts out.

I have some chlorine granules. How much of that should I be putting in during the day? I've been putting in about 5 scoops, I think it is 1 cup per scoop, every day. Think I need more than that?

You need to put in enough to get your chlorine up to 12-15 ppm and keep it there, at least until the pool clears and you add stabilizer.
