I would like to try and open the filter back up some time end of July, and see how they look... On a side note.. my PB showed up to fix the 90 degree elbow on the pump outlet that pentair flagged as incorrect when I posted pictures for the cartridge damage. Let me know what you think of their...

I just called their contact Number listed on their website.

It's 49" .. with the relief value open.

Yes and Yes :) I did check those ( as I wanted to make sure it all went back together the way I took it apart ) as it was my first time..

Just a follow up .. with some good news.. Email from Pentair : "I had my supervisor look at your pictures and he approve me to send you new cartridges" So this is great news .. Now, I did respond asking for a timeframe.. as it is starting to get really warm here today is like 74 degrees .. and I...

I believe in TPF method.. the question is.. what do i say to them.. lol. secondly .. how do you get your chem additions and vacuuming etc.. to show up in your logs?

So I wrote back to Pentair with some of the concerns... Like .. elbow likely reduced pressure not increased it.. My gauge was a constant 8-10 psi .. etc .. is there any other reason this might have happened..? They now asked for what speed I ran my pump ( 750 filteration - 1850 for waterfall...

Just a follow up .. because I thought the install was bad as well.. FYI: Natural Gas. The code here... a) Outdoors – When installed outdoors, the external jacketing shall remain intact as much as practical for the given installation. Any portions of the exposed stainless steel tubing shall be...

Pentair argument was that because the hard 90 - it increased pressure inside filter.. ( I would think it would increase it at the pump side.. though )

Was installed by another company not PB .( I'm not sure if Ontario code is the same ) .. I'll look into it though

Just a follow up .. Talked to Pentair.. no warranty because on Page 2 of the IntelliFlo pump installation manual.. it states.. NO 90 degree piping used for inlet .. OR outlet.. Which my picture shows.. So, I have now forwarded that email from Pentair to my Pool builder .. as they said.. need...

Sorry I missed this reply, thanks for the info, that possibility didn't occur to me.
