Does it work on pool lines underground? If so, where do I put the product &amp; does the DE filter need to be removed?

Sorry but I can't help with this. I have a spa. I just removed the filter and poured it directly into the intake with the pump running.

two things that come to mind, you can buy a clarifier, usually in a 30 oz bottle I think. they are supposed to bind the small dirt particles together so the filter traps them more easily. If that doesn't work I've had to vacuum out to waste and add more clean water to the pool. good luck

I used it in my 10 ft deep end in ground pool. I attach an extension cord to the cord on the product. It worked like a charm I just took it out of the now drained pool (had it on the cover submerged in water and leaves) because it's now winter in NE Ohio! I totally recommend this pump for pool use, works great and great price!

Hi Ruth. The pool is big, but not big enough for a filter. You may want to call customer service for that question. Good luck. The Maj

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Picking up dirt and debris is what this unit does best. It has a filter bag that can filter down to 2 microns so it also helps purify your pool water.

Your best bet is to take one out of your filter tank and measure it. As I recall its got to do with the length and not diameter. I used DE filter on two pools for 20 years. I jumped to a Sand Filter. Wish I had jumped years ago. Functionability and operations is sooo much better with a sand filter. The price to replace the filter fingers made me throw away the DE and go to sand.

Absolutely. It goes in-line between the filter & the return port. The water is chlorinated as it is fed back into the pool.

The system creates chlorine from the salt that you put in the pool. There are copper electrodes of sorts that react somehow, and it works! We used ours the last 2 summers and it worked just fine with regular rinsing/flushing. I cleaned them this spring with vinegar, and put it together and turned it on. Money well spent.

I've never had that problem. As long as the filter is in pump and it is clean it should work properly. Try rinsing filter out a couple times while cleaning the pool.

Don't waste time and money with the Muck Vac. The best solution I have found is using an Intex filter pump model 637R with the intake hose connected to a triangular pool brush and using an aluminum pole to push the brush around. I've debated about getting an inline filter to capture leaves and large debris so that I don't have to clean the cartridge filter as often. I used this system for 2 years and it works great. Hope this helps.

no, do not use it for that kind of pool. I am not even very satisfied with it on my above ground pool. I had to make a gasket for the pipe coming out of the filter, after I had to make an extension for it because it was not long enough to seal inside the head unit. It allowed a lot of dirty water bypass and drove me nuts thinking I didn't know how to get my pool chemistry right. Turns out it was the filter all along. Now after a year I think the pump is starting to fail, it makes an awful high pitched squeal.

I used one for my in ground pool and was not satisfied. Clogged too often. Went for a 48 sq ft DE unit. Overkill but pool sparkles and very low filter maintenance

Check through the other comments. You'll find an answer. It comes with several adapters, that should work with other pools. In a worst case scenario, you could adapt your plumbing with easy parts from the hardware store. Get this filter!

Depends on what kind of debris you have in the bottom of your pool. Thin leaves and small debris/dirt won't stay in it unless you put a stocking inside. It will go through to your filter basket. It works well with larger leaves. Also, the diameter of the intake is just a tad bit smaller than a normal vacuum hose. I had to pick up an adapter at my local pool store. Hopes this helps.

It helped me with stopping the DE (the filtering element from the filter) getting back in the pool. In your case it could be a problem with the filter also. The gasket in my valve was worn out and letting some of the water coming from the pump to bypass the filter and get straight back in the pool and some water from the dirty side of filter to get to the pool also. The new gasket fixed the problem. It was a challenge to take the old one off because it was glued to the valve.

I wouldn't recommend leaving the filter while using this product because it will probably clog the filter. You have to remember that this product sort of expands and hardens in areas of the pool and it can't discriminate between a filter and real holes so it will get clogged.

You hook it up to the side of the pool. The skimmer basket is not powerful enough to run it and you might ruin the basket.I have an above ground pool and I found that this cleaner would not work for me as it climbs right out of the pool. When it does this it breaks suction of course and can ruin your pool filter.Hope this helps.Judy
