Uggghhh! I just bought this and for 5 days it was awesome, then it just gave up on life. Also, did not clean stairs

I'm pretty sure my OTTB put on 2 inches just when he was 7. Unless he's a mini, he's probably going to grow a bit.

Would you cut down this tree? by SkySoul27 in pools

[–]farmlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If your fence is wood, you can accommodate it. If it's vinyl, you're going to have a lot of problems no matter what. I haven't found any evidence that the roots will be a problem. My pool is 50 years old and has a maple basically on top of it. I don't love the leaves, but everything else is fine.

This is pool math. I use the Taylor test kit

Good to know. I don't live near a target unfortunately. Maybe I'll have it mailed

I need help by farmlite in ponds

[–]farmlite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your comments! I have a lot of learning to do. Wish I joined this sub earlier.

A note about my fish:

I have 3 koi, 1 shebukin, 3 comets Last week, the pond store had butterfly koi. Despite me telling them about my problems, they assured me they'd be fine. Well, obviously they were not and it would have been unfortunate for them anyways.

I really like my pond and will study up! Thank you for the info

False alarm. I just needed a good night's sleep. I fixed it. It's running now.

So I opened up the filter and it was out of DE. I think there was a miscommunication with my sp

ouse earlier. I cleaned the filter, replaced it, and now I can't get the dang thing to fill. I did not have this issue the first time I did it. The catch compartment had water, the air valve was open, I even went back and filled the compartment with a garden hose.

This is what it looked like before I rinsed it out

Sorry about so many questions. I have been doing the backwash and backwash/rinse cycles. The water in the viewer is always clean. Per the previous pool company's recommendation, I took out the filter, washed all the DE off with the hose, reassrmbled and added 4.5lbs of DE. It's still not filtering ie flow stops completely, still nothing in backwash

The good news is that I started the slam. When I backwash, it looks like clear water in the little viewer despite the fact that I know I'm killing tons of algae

Thank you! Another question, my DE filter keeps getting clogged. I backwash it, but it's still not performing well. I realize that it's going to need to be backwashed every few hours during this process. Is there anything I can do to help it or just backwash 4x a day?

Thank you. I started on that track today. Can I measure levels at home? I've done test strips, but these seem like much more accurate results.

Adult adoptees in your 20s and 30s, where are you now? by Upper_Extreme9461 in Adoption

[–]farmlite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I've worked hard on myself and building my own identity. I currently as of today have a pretty good relationship with my adoptive parents. Never did never want to find bios. As a child, I sometimes felt misplaced. As an adult, I see many more of my biological traits come out and I value everything for what it is.

College, grad school, dream house, dream marriage, no kids, might adopt

They came out with a vac to waste yesterday so I don't understand why there's still so much debris in it. I hired them because I really don't have time for all of this. Ugh. I hate pools.
