Jim, thank you!! I have an above ground pool EXACTLY like yours, (even the same liner-LOL). My pool person just quit on me so I need to learn how to take care of it. I have 2 robots to clean the bottom but also one to skim the water on top that gets rid of floating debris and bugs. I'll keep watching.
Water is clear, but chlorine reading very low. All and ph are good. Pool places tell me I have a CHLORINE Lock. This year I’ve been using the skimmer lids and hosing off every day. I got a new Dolphin this season . It works great. I opened May 30th and I’ve shocked pool twice. Last one was 2 weeks ago. I have an ingrown Grecian pool, close to 30,000 gallons.
Dude thank you. I’ve been looking for something like this. I’m a first time in ground pool owner and I didn’t even get a pamphlet with the house. This video was so helpful!
That make 2 of us... I just open the pool for the season, the "pool company" came and remove the tarp put a lot of things (chemicals) that i don't know. They left the filter on but the skimmer was closed so nothing happened. this is what I've done so far and the results. 1. Left the filter on to give movement to the water 2.. Put the skimmer to work 3. cleaned the top of the water 4. cleaned skimmer basket 5. cleaned the pump basket 6. watched this video to understand chemistry. Kudos to @DIYJIM for helping us 7 Water is still cloudy 8. today im going to vacuum the pool and clean all the baskets again... then Im going to test the water. Ill keep all of you posted. hopefully all will be ok for Saturday. Please let me know if i need to do something else
This was great. thanks so much for being so thorough and showing EXACTLY what you do. I've been having a lot of algae lines on my pool floor, even with a pool cleaning company. so I know there's some addition care that the pool needs I'm not getting. an hour after cleaning, the algae shows up! Your video will help. me maintain a bit I believe.
Love your tutorial, I am first time pool owner, my pool is 27’ 18,000 gallons of water. I do exactly the same thing you do, but I didn’t know I could use banking soda. Also I didn’t know you could use a vacuum like the one you use, because of the liner. I have a creepy crawler, my pool water lasts only 2-3 days clear ☹️ I don’t what I am doing wrong. If you can please help!!
Hi Jim good video we just got a new pool still doing the electric PA has a lot of codes we should be done next week we are all ready to go swimming agine but we will balance the water this weekend so when the inspector gives the OK, we’re ready to go
After having a pool since 1983 I just bought a corded Dolphin wow what a time and labor saver.. Good vid.. im from Quakertown pa. where about are you Jim?
Does your pump give you a pressure reading on low speed.I have 0 pressure on my low speed but if I put it on high I have about 8 psi.But the water coming out the return is strong.And I did check the gauge.
Definitely don’t do this all year long I live in Pa maybe if you live in Florida you would do this all year long. Here is my winter video th-cam.com/video/E3t3Nb1wPFY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=04KnvvoMDyhNVXM9
How much pool clarifier do you recommend putting in a 3ft pool with 1,200 gallons also how much shock do you recommend for putting in a 3ft pool been trying to get muy water at the right level first time pool owner
I have a pool slightly bigger than this. 2nd year with it. It was cloudy all summer last year. Opened it this year and it was clean and clear the first 30 days. Now it's back to cloudy. I've learned a lot, my numbers are all good except alkalinity is at 170 and coming down. I've used a phosphate remover. Replaced sand in filter and it still won't clear up. I've used a clarifier and everything in between. No one can tell me why it won't clear up. If i can't figure it out, this will be the last summer i waste any more time or money on the pool and i will tear it out. 🤬
I feel your pain. Patience is key. There are a lot of variables why our pools do that. I listened to my hippie friend. He told me drown the pool with chlorine. Lol. My pool is crystal clear now. Lol
Daily - CleanSkimmer basket Once a week- Pour 2-3 oz of water clarifier. If it rains do afterwards. Check test strips for water ph. 3 seconds at elbow dip, not shaking. Alka, Ph Chlorine, Bromine If ph les 7.2 add baking soda.
I have a 24' also, the steps are worthless, i see yours they look awesome, are they after market? If so, could you hook me up the vendor? My wife will appreciate it, sir. Thank you.
That brand is hard to find and real expensive now for some reason. I like this one check out this video th-cam.com/video/GmKjQT0Zv90/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dMRGBRsxBOOqgyY9 or this one th-cam.com/video/rN7yNmm90hg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LJXmoyMC-KER6bgz
I have a new video coming out talking about 5 different pool vac’s, if you want to wait. I have to edit the video and it should be out in a week or two.
Your PH is low but your Alkalinity is too high. Baking soda will help raise the PH level but it will also raise Alkalinity as well. What do you use to decrease your PH?

Thank you, getting a pool installed and needed this info.

Great video brother! This pretty much mimics my routine with my pool also
Awesome! Thank you for watching
Great Video, Very Informative. Thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video, thanks for the tips👍🏊♂️
No problem 👍
Does your pump give you a pressure reading on low speed.I have 0 pressure on my low speed but if I put it on high I have about 8 psi.But the water coming out the return is strong.And I did check the gauge.
Those gauges are junk they don’t last. I just go by the pressure of the water going into the pool. Hope this helps
Very good video man, I like it and can do a lot with it. Thank you.
Welcome thanks for watching
Just to confirm: you do this all year round too, even during the winter ? (weekly testing and baking soda/puck additions)
Definitely don’t do this all year long I live in Pa maybe if you live in Florida you would do this all year long. Here is my winter video th-cam.com/video/E3t3Nb1wPFY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=04KnvvoMDyhNVXM9
Do you need calcium in an above ground pool? Great Video..

Very helpful thanks
You're welcome!
Oklahoma storms truly cause plenty of water issues, structural damage, and material breakdown. There's no limit to what our weather can do to pools.
Sounds like it really makes owning a pool more of a challenge. Thanks for watching
Nice” Absolutely nice clip👍🏽 💯

Thanks!
I don’t have a shut off valve for my pump basket. If I just “close” the pump will the water not shoot out when I remove the cover?
You will have to plug the water up in your skimmer basket.
How can I connect a 1.5in flex hose to a 2in pump intake?
How much shock do I need to add to a 3500 gallon pool thanks
About 1/4 of bag of shock. Read the directions just in case the shock you got is different.
Thanks Man , VERY helpful > I'd like to get one of those Battery Sweepers ?? Where is a good place to purchace one .
I ordered my dolphin on Amazon there is a link in the description. You will not regret it.
Very nice !!!!
Thanks
Where do you buy your supplies for lowest prices?
Think I ordered my chlorine off Walmart website. It normally lasts a 2-3 years.
Thank you so much!!!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Do i pour baking soda in pool or delute in water
Pour it in the pool
I have salt water system. I have added pool salt. Done. 😊
Daily - CleanSkimmer basket
Once a week- Pour 2-3 oz of water clarifier. If it rains do afterwards.
Check test strips for water ph. 3 seconds at elbow dip, not shaking. Alka, Ph Chlorine, Bromine
If ph les 7.2 add baking soda.
Thanks for watching
What is the name of the skimmer filter bags? does all pool stores have them? My alkalinity and ph is very high. Should I put in Put Ph decreaser?
filter skimmer socks you could try that
So I wouldn't need to buy ph increaser, ph decreaser, or alkalinity increaser? baking soda could solve all that?
I have never had to lower my Ph so I would try just baking soda first. Thanks for watching
Nice video
Thanks
I use a pool ionizer myself keeps it crystal clear
I have saw those. I guess I need to try one someday thanks for watching.
What’s the name of that wireless pool vacuum?
I have a link to it in my description and in my first comment hope this helps
hi all this process is with the filter on it ? i did everthing but the pool is still cloudy any recomendation
Maybe this will help but it could be something else. th-cam.com/video/Q_QEY2ewIvA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QL04bi-DjziTc9w9

What model is your cordless vacuum please
That brand is hard to find and real expensive now for some reason. I like this one check out this video th-cam.com/video/GmKjQT0Zv90/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dMRGBRsxBOOqgyY9 or this one th-cam.com/video/rN7yNmm90hg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LJXmoyMC-KER6bgz

Jets not working in inground seasalt pool just bubbles
Sounds like you might need to prime you pump.
Your PH is low but your Alkalinity is too high. Baking soda will help raise the PH level but it will also raise Alkalinity as well. What do you use to decrease your PH?
If you just need PH raised use borax instead of baking soda.
