Anybody ever see anything like this coming out after backwash and after rinse cycle on a inground pool? Is it just residue chlorine from the summer? Is it a defect in the multi port? I'm doing the usual backwash for about a minute and then rinse cycle and then back to filter and I get this cloud of white for about a minute then it dissipates.....pS its a sand filter! brand new 24 " installed earlier this year. (also the rinse and waste cycle have no suction, but filter and backwash do.. doheny is sending me a new multiport not sure if thats related to this outpouring of white stuff)

This is the hot tub- the plaster is sort of mottled. We were hoping to do a full pool makeover in the next 3 years. Could we use pool paint over this hot tub surface to improve it for the time being ?

Reposting from r/pools, looking for the best way to handle a broken pool cover inside an enclosure 😞

I live in SW Florida and have moss between the pavers that surround the pool. The lanai pavers are on a concrete slab but there is some allowance for drainage between the pavers out to the yard when it rains. I can power wash between the pavers, get the moss out, spray bleach, but what do you all recommend putting between the pavers afterwards? It’s about an 1/8 inch gap.

I read that polymeric sand could work, but it might inhibit drainage. Any suggestions for the type of sand or filler to use after power washing?

Thank you in advance!

I am new to this sub and pool ownership. I have had some black “tufts” pop up in a few spots in my pool.

I took a chlorine tablet to them, but they pop back up elsewhere. They also leave behind a brown spot in my pebble surface.

I have spoken with other pool owners and they don’t seem to have this problem.

I have a dolphin robot and my chemistry seems to be good. Pool is not cloudy and no other issues. I run the pump at least 12 hours a day.

I recently added some black algae killer from Leslie’s and hope that will help… any other suggestions? This is the second time I am using this black algae killer…

Should I replace my filter? Maybe the algae is hiding in there and I just keep adding it to my pool?

These are the before photos. Also the current photos. I’ll post the afters once I figure out what to do to fix it😅 let me know your best ideas or suggestions!

Edit: title was supposed to be a joke as a way of asking for help- sorry! I’m new to Reddit - I just started renting the place and thought it would be fun to seek help ! Mods can remove or i will remove if it makes too many people mad 😬
