How to Hook up a Swimming Pool Filtration System

I couldn’t find any type of diagram that I could send you or link but basically this is how it works. the front of the pump should connect to the pipes that come from the drain at the bottom and the skimmers from the sides of the pool. the pipe from the top of the pump goes into the filter side that says pump. and the side on the filter that says return should go into the heater inlet then plumb the outlet to the pipes that go to the pool returns jets. a good way to test your pipes is to get a drain king(rubber balloon that connects to a water hose, can find at any hardware store) and mark them return, suction, etc. if you have any doubts just call a local pool company that does service work and they can do it for you or come out and show you how, for a little money of course. I’ve been doing pool work for 6 years if you have any other questions give me a buzz. I’m located in Louisiana, Lafayette area, if your close.

Pool water with salt water filtration system

Green pool water with salt water filtration system.

We have a 16×48 above ground pool. We recently put in a intex saltwater filtration system. (last week) It was green beforehand, and has remained green since. We initially added 120 pounds of pool salt. I tested the PH and it was 8.0 so we added muriatic acid to it which brought it down.
The water remained green. I added a pkg of shock it and ran the filter overnight, it improved it, to a lighter shade of green but no more. PH is still ok, running salt filter 6 hours a day. Filtration system alarmed low salt yesterday so I added 80 pounds more salt. I added stabilizer earlier this week as well as algaecide. Despite all of this, the water remains light green. the test strips I did yesterday before adding more salt and stabilizer were: Free chlorine 2ppm, ph 7.6, and total alkalinity 80ppm. Any help would be appreciated.
