i am at a loss with trying to remove mustard algae. i have about 30,000 gallons. i used 4lbs yellow out with 4 lbs of super powder shock. i vacuumed on waste the following day. 48 hours after treatment, i thought i had gotten rid of it like the store advised me. by the 3rd day, the algae started to appear in the same spots. i used another round of yellow out and shock. by the 3rd day again, it started to show up. this is a saltwater pool with a sand filter. i noticed the flow from the waste on the filter was not a steady flow, water was shooting out in pockets of small blowouts. is that from air getting in the waste line or loose pipe? i decided to change to backwash to see if the flow was any better and it was. i forgot to put in on rinse and when i put it back on filter mode, all this brown/yellow crap entered the pool. probably because it has been 4 weeks since i last backwash/rinse the filter. i have been vacuuming on waste so there was no need to backwash/rinse. seeing all the algae shooting out of the return lines in the pool, do i need to change the sand? it is 4 years old. any suggestions? do i double the amount of yellow out/shock to 8 lbs to super shock the water? Thank you

Tried this and it worked! Had to go to three pool stores the day before Labor Day to find the 25uf but my pool party for tomorrow is saved! Thanks so much. SUBSCRIBED!

You saved us sooo much money!! August 31,2024 Thank you!!!!

My valve is in the up position and it’s still filtering, not backwashing. How is that possible ? Update: turns out my backwash valve (hayward) does in fact go down for backwash position. But thanks to this video at least I knew what the lock and unlock positions were. Anyway, backwashing done. Muddy water out. Clean water flowing. Thanks again.

Thank you for this !

What’s that battery called ?

When my pump wasn't working my pool was still not turning green. But I use tablets with chlorine anti shock, anti algae for months. Now it rained for two days and it turned green really quickly I have put a new tablet but it's still not turning back to blue. Maybe it's too hot. Does it need more Chlorine with very hot weather ?

thanks! worked for me!

👍👍👍

I'm going to dislike this video. It's mostly showing before and after but not showing the process. And for that, I'm out!

On 8/18/24, this video saved me a ton of money. The fix took 5 minutes and the part was $14 on Amazon. I’m guessing the pool company would have told me I need a new pump.

I got same thing but my ph is good also alkalinity

This video saved me from hours of trying to figure out to align the grids properly and I was able to knock it out in 15 minutes easy. Those notches where you lean the grid against to start was the key and everything just fell into place. Great tip there!!

Super glue? My pool company said never use super glue. It’ll cause a hardened buildup that will be impossible to get back out when you need a new gasket and would actually cost most to replace the entire housing.

You're a God sent. Thank you!

This is exactly what happened to me (brass nut disintegrated) and exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you!

Hahaha Thank you I was just to go out and drain my pool in the storm lmaof

Saved me $800 on July 26, 2024 - Thank you.

No kill, like ovah kill. Thanks for sharing your technique. Finally have a pump with a discharge leak just like this. Wish Hayward used a oring setup like on the Pentair stuff.

Great video. We tried this method into the top of our heyward top mount valve for the sand filter and it indeed worked!!! However the other day the male adapter broke inside of the valve system, causing a pretty large water issue in our pump room. I'm not sure if this had to do with the added silicone, using the method into the valve system or something else, but just wanted to share.

Thank you very much. This video was very helpful and reassuring too.

If you are going to create a review of a product, perhaps you should consider reading the instructions for use. You broke a critical piece of the product out and acted like it was supposed to work without the piece that creates the vortex. I’ve used this skimmer for five years. It works. Don’t listen to this moron. RTFM!

I rushed the field

I've been using Clorox algaecide but it doesn't seem to work. I don't think it says sodium bromide.

Thank you. I don't understand how these companies think. Out of touch with reality. Thank you for making this video. After stressing myself for a week trying to figure this thing out, I found your video and it sold all my the stress

no discharge before touching ?

What were the amounts of each product that you added to the pool on each visit? How many days in between as well?

I did exactly as you suggested and it worked. Thank you very much sir, you helped me save around $700. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.

I'm dealing with something I need help with. My water us crystal clear. And it's a fairly small above ground pool 9x15 4ft I have a brown dust at the bottom when touched it disapaits. Once the water settles, it's back. It's impossible to vacuum due to being so fine. Someone help this Mom! 😂

Thanks! Perfect explanation!

Silicon is not the same as silicone. What you are using in the video is siliCONE, as in "ice cream cone."

How much yellow treat?

Couldn’t hear some of the video! Didn’t help me

You just made me a better tech...thank you

Created my vacuum. Worked perfectly

What if the foam on the wrinkled after it rained

What?

Looks like an overkill but worth the effort since a leak will mean you have to start all over again. I am in the process of changing mine and will follow your lead.

Can't hear you over the dog barking

Danger... This is a very dangerous video. When you see a CAPACITOR... be very very careful.

Even with a salt water pool

The walls of my pool look just like this but it’s very hard to scrub off. If I use a wire brush I can get it off so I don’t think it’s staining. What could it be?

That parts at Home Depot for $1.81

Ive been chasing suction leaks for 3 weeks and have determined these pvc scrd fitting leak no matter if I use teflon tap, order door or both. I’m trying this next. Argh

Thank you very much.

Do you have any videos of this being done?

Thank you so much extremely helpful. I don't know when you made this video it was frustrating until I came across your video may God bless you brother

If the salt cell thinks the salt is too high will it stop working? If so, what number ppm?

do you know anyone near Sulphur, LA that works on pools?

What happens when the system goes into freeze protect.
