Thank you. I'm a 65 year old women who has been maintaining DE pools since I was 11 years old. At 60 I purchased a home with a sand filter and have had a pool service for the last 5 years. I'm tired of paying for sub par service. I have been reluctant to service my own pool due to the sand filter which looks totally different than all the "earth" filters I've maintained. This video has helped give me the confidence to maintain the pool myself. Wish me luck!

I've been trying to clean my pool for the longest as well as understanding how the valves worked. Thanks to you now I have the information. May the Lord Almighty God continue to bless your business for ever and ever.

Thank you so much for these helpful videos. We were new, clueless pool owners and your videos have been a huge help.

Thank you, best video I have seen ! I had hard time to learn how water circulate, hard to find clear instructions as yours. May God Bless you !

I have been trying to find out how to operate the sand filter with no good results until I came across your video, you went from A-Z over each operation. Thanks

[letsdrive]

Thank you so much for explaining everything to me. I was fixing to jest drain and take my pool down. My husband will not do the upkeep anymore. It turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. 60 years old. I'm not a quitter ! 😂😂

[stevenbullock]

Very helpful video- thanks. Moved to our home w/ inground pool 16 years ago, and between this and another of your videos I've learned how many things I've been doing wrong, or the hard way.

[ganadaIf]

Bought a house with a pool and had no idea about any of this, thank you for your video!

[ScottPacific]

You videos are excellent. I’m able to maintain, troubleshoot and do repairs to my pool without professional assistance thanks to you!

[eliselowick]

Thank you for the video, first to help me understand the inside mechanics of the machine and simple instructions.

[chadwickhallman]
