Nice update! Are you interested in reviewing our 7-in-1 pool water monitor? It can test PH, CL, ORP, EC, TDS Temp and Salinity, etc! We're sure that you'll love it.

Great video. Really dissapointed that my bestway pump like yours doesnt have a timer on it like my cheap one does

[trevorgauthier]

awesome vid pal, thanks and appreciate the tips🤙🏻

Thank you! My pump does not push water back into the pool like yours is. I can barely tell it’s doing anything. I’ve been researching and finally came across this video. Any ideas of what’s going on?

I need this. I'm still learning. Oh, crud I think I've moved handle with filter on before. Also, I thought you were never supposed to move counterclockwise. I've been watching your videos over a year (but was out if state 7 months, unplanned) I had winter closed the pool but upon returning leaves HAD gotten into pool when sections of cover had blown open
I swear I've been battling getting it as clean as before I left. Al.ost thinking of emptying and restarting BUT that a lot of pool chemical lo$$....
I thought maybe I had mustard algae but it's so fine and blows around bottom, so don't think so. I need a stronger filter but it's illegal in Calif now I hear. Keep making great videos! I STILL am learning how to start, stop, and adjust chemicals. I wish I had you as a neighbor to help teach me....lol

Hi Dale, I have the same pump with polysphere filter balls recently the psi pressure has been very low any tips to get it back up?

[cherifarkas]

Do you have the vacuum link? I don't see it.

[sharonanddanhoag]

Thank you. How do I get to the products you recommend?

Can you connect a garden hose to port D? If so, how?

[cdroz]

Do you need to change the sand? How often?

So we just set this up- and the filter seems to be working, but we don't feel suction from the two suction ports inside pool or feel any water coming out of the other. 😢

I just cleaned the pump and filter and added new sand did backwashing and rinsing and made sure no air in the basket side of the pump. The pool filter has been running 24 hours because we had to add in heavy chemicals to kill mustard algae. Pool is still very cloudy but the real problem is the psi. The pump psi is running at 20. How can I get it lower? It says online 20 is too high for this pump… HELP! I don’t want to have to buy a new filter. Thank you. :(

My above the ground bestway pool is always turning green after awhile even when my levels are perfectly fine and I clean it every week and the kids use it all the time. I havent gotten a vaccum yet but im thinking about throwing away the pool. Any suggestions what I should do?

[longhorn]

this pool doesn't look like a jeep at all!

What sand did you use, also how do I hook up the vacuum tool that came with the pool.
