Question
water level has risen above skimmer basket because of recent rain. i have a jacuzzi filter w/cartridge and a hayward super primer pump. how do i drain the excess water and clear the algae out
Answer
Do you have a 'vac to waste' valve selection?If not you'll need to get a pump or just use a short piece of hose 10 feet or so and siphon it out. To clear the algae double shock at dawn, run filter for approximately 4 hours,shut off filter,vac in the morning,add algaecide,put all vac equipment in shallow end of pool when you shock it.Use a flocculent if water is not clear the next day.Lynn
