Hello there,
The problem I am having is that the small screen which is in the line supplying water to the pool cleaner always gets clogged after a day or so so every day it has to be cleaned or the cleaner will stop functioning due to lack of pressure. So this got me thinking... In my pump/piping setup you can see that the pressure out to the pool cleaner is before the DE filter. I was wondering if anyone sees anything wrong with capping that out flow pipe right after the Jandy valve and installing another jandy valve after the DE filter to supply the pool cleaner with filtered water so the little screen doesn't get clogged so often. Only reason I can think of is that there may be a pressure decrease, but I think it will still work fine. I also thought of installing a larger type of filter/screen in-line to the cleaner, I just don't know what I'm looking for.
If there are any other ideas out there, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
