    I like how this guy explains stuff. He gets right down to business! He doesn't waste time talking about his life, how his day was, etc. unlike some amateur utubers. And he is very clear in his explanations and he keeps it simple. Thanks Hallmark Pools!

      @HallmarkPoolSupplies  Před rokem

      If this is an above ground pool and you have a sand filter, it sounds like you need to backwash and rinse the system thoroughly. 25 psi is high for starting pressure. As far as a green pool, take a water sample to your local pool store and have it tested so you can get the proper chemicals. Thanks for watching.

      For normal cleaning you will vacuum in the filter position. If a pool is really dirty or algae infested then you would vacuum in the waste position. When vacuuming in waste you will have to add water to the pool.

    Question, I have 24ft pool with a half hp motor and a 16 gal drum sand filter, I want to upgrade because Its not cutting it when it comes to vacuuming and just general operation. What pump/sand filter would you recommend? Also what is the pump/filter you use on the pools in the video?

    • @HallmarkPoolSupplies
      @HallmarkPoolSupplies  Před 3 lety

      For that size pool we would recommend the Hayward sand filter system W3S180T93S. This system has a 1.5 HP pump and a 150 lbs. sand filter which is the same system in the video.

      When vacuuming you will be in the filter position. After vacuuming you can backwash for about 1 minute and then rinse for about 30 seconds. If needed you can repeat. Thanks for watching.
