Found this pool closing tutorial http://www.troublefreepool.com/pool-school..._in_ground_pool Anyone knows if this there is a pool opening tutorial somwhere that goes well with the above instructions for closing?

does anyone know if Arctic Armor Ultra Light Solid Safety Cover any good? http://www.backyardcitypools.com/pool-cove...-Pool-Cover.htm Also, is there any problem with having too much overlay? I can't find any cover with my step configuration so is there a problem getting rectangular cover and just covering up steps and adjacent concrete with full width cover? I would custom order it but they have long lead time in this time of year.

Hey guys, I just got this house and don't know much about its pool's history. Anyway, for some reason on startup of the pump I have a little bit of sand thrown in in the pool out of return. It happens only on a pump start up, I tried to cover return with a fine skimmer sock after about 5-10 min after startup and see if I get any sand and there was none. Sand also comes out on backwash. I did rinse after the backwash but still getting sand every time pump kicks in. Do you guys think filter's Lateral Assembly is shot or there is an issue with the valve? It's Hayward Pro series filter. Also if it is lateral and I will have to disassemble the filter, any recommendations on Sand Alternative media? or should I just stick with regular filter sand? Thanks
