Got it, thank you!

THAT DID IT!!! That's exactly what I was missing. With the MPV on "Closed" the dirty water was leaking out of the returns, but on Backwash the dirty water was leaking out of the drain/skimmer. I didn't know that I could manipulate that valve like that. Thank you wireform and everyone else.

I'm starting to think that I might have misunderstood what was happening earlier. When I put the MPV on backwash and started to fill the filter, I was looking for the dirty water to spill over the top of the filter like in the deep clean videos, but instead it got to a certain level and stayed...

As you can see, no shutoff valves of any kind. Thanks for the thread links. Useful, but I'm starting to think it's not possible to deep clean a Triton II without any shutoff valves of any kind. Which sucks, because the water above the sand when I started deep cleaning was incredibly dirty and...

No, I have zero valves other than the jandy valve that determines whether I suction from the skimmer or the main drain (or both), but I cannot "close" it, it's one or the other. And then the multiport valve on the filter. That's it. So I am SOL with the deep cleaning? I tried the backwash...

Thanks everyone for the help! I had no idea that there was a "fine" bag for the polaris. Just ordered one. I also know I need to deep clean the filter, but I have a Triton II with the side mounts, so it doesn't seem to be as easy as just removing the top/multiport valve. I put my multiport...

Today's water test: chlorine 5.5 CYA 40 pH 7.8 TA 120 CH 200 We just recently remodeled the our pool (plaster, tile, concrete deck, added small water feature), and everything is fine except that there is, every morning, a layer of "dirt" in the pool. I originally thought it was either sand...

OK great, thanks for replying! So, on my pump, there is a tag that says "Polaris Pool Systems PB-4 Booster Pump". When I look that up, I see PB4-60. Not sure what the "-60" means? Is that what I'm looking for? Also, there are two options for the front housing replacement: The "old style"...

This is my first post so I hope all this looks OK to you guys. Today I happened to walk out to my equipment while the booster pump was running and noticed a spray of water out of the booster pump: Not sure how that happened in that exact location, but it's pretty apparent to me...
