Please HELP!

Janet,

Thank you for your reply. I have been doing a lot of reading on the BBB approach and I think I may be a new disciple. Unless convinced otherwise my plan is to bring the water level back up to 10" below my jet to prevent any pool damage. (Yesterday I pumped it down to 14" deep). Then throw in my winterizing chemicals , cover and let it sit until spring. Then after an entire winter of researching the BBB process I plan to convert my pool over. My pool guy wants me to buy a new filter in the spring also, but I think I will go with BBB first...I really have no good reason to think my filter is suspect and I think he is saying the filer because 1. he has no idea whats causing my algae problem and 2. he wants to sell me a new filter. Thank you so much for your quick response!

Sounds like a plan to me -- I wouldn't suggest a Baquacil to Chlorine conversion now. But next spring open your pool 2 - 3 weeks before you want to begin using it, so you can do the conversion, and make any needed repairs without losing swim time.

Thank you!

My pool supplier is blaming the filter, but I have had the head rebuilt in the last month and new sand. I just can't seem to think its the culprit after 7 years of problem free use. I do know that the eyeball jet has extreme pressure/flow. I can hardly hold my hand in front of it. I read somewhere that this could cause the pump to force the junk right through the sand back into the pool.

Thanks again!
