Hello, I got an above ground pool, holds about 18,000 gallons, I starter the 24hr prosses, My pump system is a salt water system it produce his own chlorine. it got up to 12hr of chlorination, how many hours should I set up the chlorine setting while doing this processes ? Thank you for your time

3 gallons liquid chlorine per 10,000 gallons pool water OR 4LBS granular chlorine per 10,000 gallons pool water For my fellow European friends: 11,35 L liquid chlorine per 37.854,1 L pool water OR 1,81 KG granular chlorine per 37.854,1 L pool water

Struggled this year clearing up our pool. Your explanation of vacuuming to waste got us all clear. Thanks

I was wondering what that rinse was for 🤦🏽‍♀️….every time I backed wash dirt would spill back into the pool when I put it on filter.

Fourth video I’ve watched today on this exact tutorial and this was the absolute BEST. Now I feel like I know what I’m doing and about to go give it a try!!! 🙌🏼

U wanna keep ur filter on when u add floc. I worked in commercial pools for 24 years and we had view ports on our filters. The floc creates a film on the sand bed and creates a layer of finer filtration than the sand. Also stops u having to do as much vaccing in the pool too. You can also extend the life of ur sand in the filter by adding hypo to the filter (40-60ppm) for at least an hour then backwash multiple times. Dirt over time binds to the sand and reduces efficiency. The shock dose to sand breaks a lot of the dirt off the sand

Excellent instruction video! Thanks

Thank you so much for making this video, following it exactly has helped me twice now......a little advice for everyone that's using this as a guide.....save it to a play list, you will need it MUCH sooner than you hope, these motors typically don't last long even when installed correctly. This is by far the best instructional video for this exact pump motor replacement.

This is awesome! I've never used this setting on my pump. It will certainly come in handy as I clean out the small debris at the bottom of my pool!! Thanks for sharing!

Another tip: put your vacuum hose in front of your return to fill it with water.

Great video and info; thank you! My pool cover operated fine yesterday; today it opens only about one foot, and can close that foot it does open. The ropes seem to be fine in the tracks and I don't see obvious debris around the reel. Thoughts? It's in the 90's in Cincinnati, OH. Thanks

Thank you so much

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

I know it's been two years since you put out this video, but like everyone else I was reading in the comments, this video also save me a service call and frustration, not only did I have a bad rocker switch, I also had a bad pressure switch, so after replacing both of those my daughter is a happy camper. I thank you, and she really thanks you.

Quick question., I purchased a new pump and it has 3 air bleeders. After removing the screw in plug. There isn't a hole? Do I drill one?

Why are you not showing how to get the laterals in and out? i feel like the hole is way to small to return that back in there and it was broken to get it out. Basically a square peg through a round hole here!

I'm gonna sneak and do this tonight. My boyfriend insists that shock and chlorine are 2 totally different things, we have chlorine but no "shock". Shock is just basically over chlorination, right? He also topped the water off a good 2ft while pool is swampy green...I have a feeling that was wrong too. It's gonna be a miracle if it can be fixed without draining.

legend mate, clear simple and understandable instructions. just moved to a new house and the old owner didn't give me too much detail on how to use and clean the pool, not the first home i've owned that has a pool, just a way different system, so this helps clear up any un-answered questions, cheers mate

I knew the girl at the pool and spa wasn’t listening my pool is 5000 and she said just a half LB of shock and is green as a witches brew

I have used this product for a couple of years. My biggest complaint is the vapor's. It's not pleasant to breathe. I doubt that it's harmful. It's just an unpleasant smell.

Wow what a video!

I need to replace my hot tub pump, but it would probably take me much longer than a professional. Do you come to Long Island, New York? Lol.

My pool was like yours I through shock in it about 4 gallons one day then another 4 left it for a day or two and the pool got really cloudy. I test strip it and my reading: total hardness = 120, total chlorine =1, free chlorine =0, Bromine =0, total Alkalinity =80, cyanuric acid = 0, PH = 7.6 Another guy on you told says if you have normal or low chlorine and Ph is 7.6 its microscopic add another 4 gals of shock. Sorry for the burden my sons' friends want to get into the pool.

Ok, found this video by complete accident. Opened my pool a few days ago, got it cleaned up and chemicals perfect by the end of the day. That night I shocked it and scrubbed the entire pool. Day 2, I vacuumed the pool but it seemed a little cloudy (for the first week I keep the filter running 24/7). Checked chemicals, all good. Day 3, water is crystal clear but there’s this stuff at the bottom of the deep end, like shown in the video. I vacuum again but then immediately backwash the filter as soon as I was finished. Day 4, water is crystal clear, chemicals are perfect but there’s about half the amount of the same stuff at the bottom of the deep end. I’m guessing I need to vacuum to waste to get rid of all of it. I’m glad I stumbled across this video, thank you for sharing!

Good detailed footage on the process which other videos lack. A picture with a thousand words - it helps me to better understand when I can see the water each step of the way.

PLUGGING DIRECTLY INTO THE SKIMMER HOLE CAN BE A VERY COSTLY MISTAKE!

I have a brand new line and vac head and I tried your method but the water doesnt hold

Hi Some pool technicians say it’s better to drain because there’s a high chance it’s coming back. Is that true? And is it cheaper to just drain? One thing I’d like to comment on, I think its better not to use waste mode when vacuuming. It throws away the chlorine. That’s why I guess the chlorine level dropped here

I never heard of putting the flock or frock into the sand filter will that help more some how can you explain?

Great information! Thank you!

I love this shock and floc video. Great method! Thank you so much for this video! Add music 3 years in a row. Thank you so much! God bless you. 🙏

What size is that bolt in the middle of the impeller? Opened mine up and there wasn’t even one.

Great work and details !!

Would this be nearly the same for a salt pool?

I was replacing the sand in the filter, tried to put the valve back on the lateral to make sure it was lined up and when I went to take it off, it pulled the lateral back up overtop of the sand. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I tried scooping the sand back around so the lateral assembly could sit flush with the filter, but it went go back down. Any suggestions? Do I have to dump all this back out to get the lateral back flat?

Thank you, great video

Is it safe to swim in a cloudy pool if all levels are normal?

Thanks for posting; huge help in June, 2024!

Awesome video! Saved me a lot of time from the way I was opening. That floc is great. Did not know about that before your video. I'd like to know where to get that skimmer plate you show that goes over the handle of the basket. The other skimmer plate you did list a link for. Thanks again for the great video! Probably be referring back to it next year.

thanks so much! i just started as a pool attendant and noones taught me how to vaccuum😭 this is super helpful!

I have separation in the deep end in the corners. Do they sell patches where I can hook to the side of the wall and then glue it to the stretched out part of the liner like patching a hole?

How far have you seen a liner stretch. I have two corners in the deep end ones about 6 to 8 inches down. The liner seems to be in good condition not too brittle. I guess the question is how far have you seen the liner stretch before?? thank you for your response in advance

Oh, yes chlorine bad... dude this ain't lab grade stuff, the only thing you need to worry about is your clothes, eyes and not ingesting it.

No need to shut down pump after vac. Simply open drain valve, close vac/skimmer valve. Remove vac hose, then reverse valves.

We love having the kiddos help, always gotta teach them early.

Is the pool running while you shock the pool or just add and brush first? Thank you

Best video on youtube for algae treatment period. Thank you.

I’ve been struggling so bad this year my pool keeps getting swamp green. I’ve taken samples in 3 times followed all instructions and it got worse then before I added anything after I removed my cover. You’re a life savor !
