Do you run the pump after putting flocculent in?
When you put floculant in the pool you do not run the pump. you let the pool sit still for about two days. This will allow it to settle. After that time you will notice that there Is a cloudy area at the bottom of the pool. This is the floculant and all the contaminants that it has dragged down to the bottom as it settled. This will need to be vacuumed to waste DO NOT PUT THIS STUFF THROUGH THE FILTER,(VACUUM IT TO WASTE.) It's ok to pump it but not to run it through the filter.
How long does it normally take to drain the water from the pump when closing an in ground pool for the winter?
Draining the water from the "pump" (I'm assuming you mean the filter) should only take a few minutes. How long it would take to drain the water in the pool down to the winterization level would depend on the size of your pool and the pump you are using.
Replaced the pump in my above ground pool as it wasn't pushing out enough pressure for the vacuum now I have thick looking stuff at the bottom I don't think the auto vacuum will be able to move it.?
Have you used clarifier or flculent at any stage to clear the pool water. If you have the thick looking stuff is the clarifier or floculant settled on the bottom. The pool pump will pump this stuff only it is important not to put it through the filter as it will block it up in no time. Gently hand vacuum it to waste.
How do you flock a swimming pool?
1 Purchase a floculant from a pool shop 2 Turn of the pool filtration equipment 3 cast the floculant evenly over the surface of the water. 4 let pool settle for two days with the filtration turned of and the unit turned to waste you do not want this stuff to go through your filter. After a couple of days you will note that all of the water except for a layer at the bottom is beautifully clear. do not disturb the layer at the bottom any more then you have to. 6 gently lower a pool vacuum into the cloudy layer on the pool floor then start the pump which should be set to waste. Then vacuum all of this layer out of the pool. you will loose about 6"/150mm to 12"/300mm of water doing this.
