I have an in ground gunite pool that used to have a DE filter with a push/pull backwash valve. I kept having problems with water leaking to the street via the waste line and assumed it was the backwash valve leaking by. I never fixed it because it was the end of the season and I was planning on switching to a cartridge filter this summer. I installed the cartridge filter last week and began filling my pool back up two days ago after acid washing it. I got about 10,000 gallons into the pool and dumped in some shock and started the pump. Somehow I STILL have water leaking to the street via the waste line even though it has been cut and capped where it used to connect to the old backwash valve. It only leaks when the pump is running, and I'm guessing at a rate of about 2 -3 gpm. Doesn't matter if the valves are set to full pool discharge, full hot tub discharge, etc...
Any ideas?? Thx!
