much appreciated. Looks like my system is running at significantly reduced pressure. Time to get back to the PB with some serious questions :confused:

Hi all, My infloor isn't performing at it's best. I am suspecting that there isn't enough pressure at the valve basket. Can anyone please take a look at tell me what pressure (psi) is at the valve basket. Mine is running at aroud 12 psi at the moment. Cheers Vlad

Thanks. Nope, just steps.

Thanks guys. Will run through OCLT and see where it takes me. A point to note that l I have not had algae in my pool due to initially it's been way over-cholorinated. (almost 18). However, I'll give the OCLT a go and see if that fixes things. That aside, any particular large sq-ft filter you...

Hi Dave, I've been reading through some old threads trying to find answer to my own problem - replacement of the cartridge filter. I am also looking at Virson and Zodiac Cartridge filters. Just wondering which one you went with? Is it worth spending the extra on Viron? Thanks Vlad

Thanks heaps for your prompt reply Mark. I realise that the 200 sq-ft filter is definitely big enough especially given the flow rate of 150GPM. However, the cartridge is obstructing the flow. If I run the filter without the cartridge element in, I get good pressure at my infloor (~15psi) and...

Hi All, I have 60,000L brand new pool. The pool builder has installed Pentair Posi-Clear RP 200 sq-ft cartridge filter. What I find is that filter tends too clog up quite frequently and needs to be washed almost bi-weekly. Having read numerous posts on this forum, I found that many members run...
