Can alum be used to clean an above-ground baquacil pool whose sand filter is leaking sand into the pool?
Rosenuff
Alum is a floculent and these are often used to settle excessive amounts of dirt to the bottom of pools the are available from pool shops. It sounds like you will need to replace the laterals in your sand filter first so that you don't have this problem in the future. Take care vacuum the settled dirt and flock to waste do not put it through the filter.

How do you fix an aboveground pool with Baquacil that has been shocked and clarified and its levels are good but it is still cloudy?
The first thing to do would be to test for the Total Alkalinity. If it is not within the 60-120 range the water will be cloudy and nothing will clear it up except adjusting it. Another thing would be to chemically clean the filter. Baquacil recommends that you chemically clean it at least once a month, if the filter is clogged up it could cause the pool to be cloudy. The last resort would be to add the Flocculant.

You can remove it and clean the filter inside it or you can replace it.
If the water in a Baquacil pool is cloudy and has white stuff floating in it how do you fix it and what is the white stuff?
I am a Baquacil employee and usually watermold is due to bacteria in the water that is built up over time caused by the Sanitizer and Algistat reading fluctating. It is very important to test that reading weekly and add the top-up dosage as needed. Also it is important, especially in Baquacil pools, to chemically clean the filter monthly. The best way to treat watermold (white or pink) is to add the Water Clarifier to the skimmer with the filter running, then add the Flocculant as a filter aide, let filter 8-12 hrs, vaccum to waste, and chemically clean the filter. The most important step is chemically cleaning the filter because the watermold tends to trap itself in the filter and the pool can be clear after this process but without chemically cleaning the filter, the watermold just filters back through and starts to form again. Another way to help prevent water mold if you have already had it is to use the Baquacil CDX. In the past we have had Ultra but we are really moving toward the CDX to help maintain the Oxidizer reading. I think you have water mold. Baquacil ultra is supposed to get rid of it. It worked for me.
How do you stop oil leaking from oil filter on a 1984 Honda acord?
Remove the old filter. Replace it with a new filter. Before installing the new filter wipe the mounting surface clean and apply a coat of oil to the new oil filter's gasket. Spin on the filter and tighten it 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. No, more and no less. If you still see oil leaking from the filter then look above the filter for the leak. Possibly valve cover is leaking.
How long will it take to get water mold out of a pool that uses baquacil?
It should only take about a day or so. The best thing to do is add the Water Clarifier to the skimmer with the filter running, add Flocculant as a filter aide and let run for 8-12 hrs, vaccum to waste, and chemically clean the filter. It is very important to chemically clean the filter because while vaccuming to waste the water mold will trap itself in the filter and can filter back into the pool and start to form again. It is best to chemically clean the filter to kill off any water mold that may be left over.
How do you fix a leaking oil filter on a 1984 4100cc deVille?
First U check ABOVE the filter 2 b sure the intake manifold & Valve covers aren't Leaking.. then U check 2 c if the mounting surface is flat & the threaded connector is tight & if that doesn't work U might need a new filter If after checking above, the filter, as Marv pointed out, you find that it is indeed the filter that is leaking, replace the filter. Clean the mounting surface throughly, oil the filter gasket, and tighten the filter 3/4 turn after it touches the mounting surface. No more, no less! A leaking filter is almost always caused by incorrect installation.
How do you stop an oil leak at the filter on a 1970 318?
Remove the old oil filter, check to make sure the old filter gasket came off and is not sticking on the mounting surface. Wipe the mounting surface clean with a clean cloth and inspect it for cracks or scratches. Apply a thin coat of oil to the new filter gasket. Install the new filter and tighten it 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface, no more & no less. If you then have a leak and the mounting surface has no scratch in it then the leak is above the filter and running down making it appear that the filter is leaking when in fact it may very well be a valve cover that is leaking.
