pressure

Hi all, first time poster. We are on the second season with a pool and are having an issue with the pressure constantly being around 23-25psi. I have tried deep cleaning the filter and the container it sits in. Within 30 minutes of it being deep cleaned and running again the pressure is back up...

I have an ~8,000 gallon in-ground pool in Florida. My pool has a solar heating system as well as a dedicated pool vacuum suction line. The normal operating pressure was 10-12 PSI without running the solar system. I recently backwashed and cleaned my DE filter grids. Upon putting the pump in...

Hello all, I hope you're staying cool in your pool!!! I've been in this house about 1.5 years and take care of my chemicals thanks to you all! I'm trying to figure out the right thing to do with my return jets. I've uploaded 4 pictures, one of the pool and jet numbers in each other picture. I...

Hi everybody, pool newbie here and need advice. My pool construction is nearly complete. Waiting on plaster, water, and start up. My hardscaping around the pool is done. A few days ago my PB asked me to check the PSI pressure at my equipment pad, up to that point I was clueless about the...

How can I check the air pressure in my Saluspa Cancun Hot Tub?

Hello! I'm a new pool owner of a previously built in ground pool, ~17000 gallons. For the first 2 months we lived in the home, I hired a pool company to help take care of the chemicals and equipment so we could settle in. They cleaned our Hayward DE filter at the end of May/early June. They have...

We installed a new pump and filter. This required re-plumbing as well. The pump is no longer putting out enough pressure to move water up the slide line. Previously, my Hayward one and a half horsepower pump put out plenty of pressure for the slide. Photos attached. The green line is the slide...

I was opening my pool and it was really bad algae as usual, so I ran the filter and after I got things fairly cleaned I did a backwash. I got lazy and didn't turn the pump off and just switched from backwash to rinse one or twice near the end. After that I started leaking water fairly...

I have a 2hp whisperflo pump that has been having some problems with excess pressure. The pump is used for a spa. The pipes are all integrated with the vs pump. The pressure is so high that it has bent pump strainer baskets. The original one, and now a new one. The pump has been leaking so I...

Nearly zero psi. Return flow looks normal. I just replaced pressure gauge and washed the cartridge filters today but didn’t solve the issue. My pump basket is clean. What else should I check? Please

Had a small fissure in the standpipe of my lateral assembly, so I had to swap out the assembly. While I had all the sand out, I decided to go ahead and put new sand in there. It’s never been changed since I’ve owned the pool and who knows if it was ever changed by the previous owner. I know the...

New 20x40 IG pool last summer, winterized/closed by installer company and just opened by me today after watching a couple YouTube videos. The pressure on my Hayward S244T filter is reading at 32 when it read around 22 last summer; when I turn off the pump it reads around 8. Additionally, the...

So I didn’t open the pool this year but last year was my first year of home ownership. I have a fiberglass slide that had broken hoses and missing nozzles so I figured I’d be able to fix it by buying one of the pool slide spray kits After setting it up, the pressure was terrible. I’ve since...

Hi there - Our 1.5 hp pool motor/pump died and our local pool supply recommended going to a 2hp. Sounded ok.....the circulation in pool is fantastic! HOWEVER, now after 1 month with new pump our Hayward Pro Series S180T has started leaking.....first at a seam, now today, also from the head...

Hello! How can I fix my drain plug on my hayward cartridge model c 3000 pool pump? The drain plug was leaking a little bit and i put teflon tape to help however it still didnt fix it 100% . Pressure is still coming out and the PSI is a little bit above 10. I never had this problem before so...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to TFP and to pool ownership. We purchased a home with an 30k gallon IG gunite pool 2 years ago (this is our third summer). Here is a quick run down of the first issue I want to tackle with this pool: Year 1 We swapped out the old pump for a VS-SVRS pump and had no issues...

been working great and running on a rotation of 12 hours at night on high usually. a couple of days when it was raining I didn't run it. but overall pretty good. chemical levels are all steady and I don't have to do a lot of maintenance to keep it in the clear.. hehe yesterday it seems...

I have a leak somewhere in my plumbing. Plugged returns and no water loss. Unplug returns and fill over returns and I’m not losing water. Unplug returns and run the pump I start losing water. Water loss stops just below returns and skimmer. Can anyone give me any additional insight. Any...

My Hayward EC65A DE filter's pressure gauge indicator needle has somehow become stuck below the metal pin at 0 psi, so it can't advance and register pressure. This is the 2nd time this has happened in the last few years (1st time I just replaced it with a spare from an old filter I had laying...

Weirdest question I think I have ever presented to you all - Just finished a revamp on my 40 year old pool - new cooping, tile and surfacing (drain hole plugged). Replaced pump and motor for prosperity, as well. Cleaned and replaced the filters. Everything is clean, clear and running really...
