Re: Robert 1906
Thanks!
Looking at the pictures, it appears to me that it's a pressure fit. When you pull up on the old piece, does it move at all?
Maybe a call to Pentair is warranted???
Oh wait, I just found something on the Inyopools.com site....... Pentair Center Core, 150, 200 Predator (59053800) - INYOPools.com
While it appears they may be referring to the slots on the upper area of the new part - it seems that the entire element assembly is removed by pulling straight up and then the actual cartridge is removed from the assembly for cleaning. In your case, the "tube" is broken off. But the lower portion should be removable by pulling up on it - maybe the outer edge, a little at a time?
Besides that, I haven't a clue.
Thanks!

Re: Robert 1906
In this pic - the four vertical protrusions on the tan colored tank - does it appear that those are holding the black piece in? Maybe slipping something under the black part near those protrusions and pulling up a little. Then move to the next protrusion, etc.??

I'll give it another try this evening. One I found advised that they had to break the base in order to remove.. Has to be an easier way.

On my pentair 420 the whole center assy removes by pulling up, the vertical protrusions center it and provide friction to keep it in place.
Finally got it removed. Had to use the end of a hammer and it popped right off... Thanks everyone... I put in the new core and new cartridge and stated the pump about 30 mins ago. The Psi was between 5-10 but now it's close to 20... I started the slam process but does the PSG rise that fast? Also there is a white haze in the pool. The haze is also in filter and almost looks like soap film. Here is a pic of the pool.

Good job on removing the base.
Yes, the filter pressure can increase a bit quick when you have algae and are slamming. As to the foamy look - is it possible you may have used some splash-less beach? Plain old generic bleach is what is recommended - no additives for scent or splash-less. I guess it's possible even one bottle of splash less could give that result.

I'll try a different bleach. Used walmart brand. Not sure if it has additives...

If it's the generic Walmart 8.25%, that's fine. I think the scented or splash-less says that on the label.
You can also check in the Walmart pool section for "Chlorinating Liquid", it's been on sale in many parts of the country for $2.50/gallon. Be aware -it's 10%, so make sure to set that in the Poold Math page to get the correct dosage. Also, check the date codes.... 16120 was manufactured the 120th day of 2016 (around the end of April). The higher the number the fresher it is.
EDIT - the Walmart splash-less says "Easy Pour" in BIG letters on the label.

Thanks for the help.. I looked at the container and it is the Chorinating Liquid. Maybe it's not as strong as the day is 16062 ..

062 is March 2 - I think. It may have lost some of its potency... but shouldn't be the cause of the foaminess. If you decide to get more of that, dig through it and get the freshest they have. At $2.50/gallon, it's still cheaper than the Walmart generic 8.25% in the laundry isle for $2.98/121 ozs.
