Good morning TFP.
I have a hayward sand filter for my salt water pool. Recently i've noticed quite a few things going on. ( Please keep in mind this pool is only on it's 3rd summer). First i noticed that the pressure gauge wasn't working, so i replaced it. Then i noticed that the valve handle was very giggly even after setting it in backwash or filter, so i took it in, had the seals inspected (good) and had the spring replaced.
i got home put the filter top back on and it still is not working properly. The last thing i noticed is that even in filter mode, there sound like air is going through yup checked for leaks). I also noticed that the backwash leaks a little even when on filter mode. Last but not least... on backwash mode, absolutely nothing goes through the sight glass bottle. Please help if you can, i'm beyond frustrated.
Million thanks!!
