LOL! I did the exact same thing at first so don't feel bad.was hoping "dump & hope" would at least get me on track
Haha; at least my filter runs about 2 hours until it "blows." Actually had great success with these filters. Usually lasted over 2 months!LOL! I did the exact same thing at first so don't feel bad.
No more dump and hope though. Heed Jim's directions and you'll be straight in no time. They ship out test kits really fast so it won't be long.
I feel your pain on that DE filter too. I HATED mine when I first had to SLAM. Bumping every 15-30 minutes OMG. Talk about babysitting a pool. Can I at least go to the little girl's room before you need more attention?!? I swore I'd NEVER go through that again and I haven't. TFP + SWG = no more algae for me and I chunked that thing in the trash in exchange for a big fat cartridge filter.
@PoolStored . Thanks again. Yes checking the pressure on my filter ... was just hoping to remove as much as possible without multiple cleanings@EmilePool I updated my post above, reload the page and re-read.
Yeah, I get it, but you need to realize that a filter is a pressure vessel. They are designed to be cleaned properly. If you exceed the designed pressure limit, they can and do explode. That is a dangerous situation. I would recommend, even if it a bit of a pain, to follow the process outlined. We don't want to see Emily injured, or have to replace a filter.@PoolStored . Thanks again. Yes checking the pressure on my filter ... was just hoping to remove as much as possible without multiple cleanings
@mknauss . Thanks; yes, pretty sure CC is at 0.5 and water is crystal clear.Great. Did you pass the other two criteria also? See SLAM Process
Haha; will post a pic if it starts leaking again. Has been fine for 5 days now. Leakage occurred when psi went over 20. Just light flow from in between the upper/inner part and the base. And ... guess the dead algae disintegrate so that is why my filter works againAny leak from a filter housing is problematic. Post a picture of the leak.
