At the beginning of the season, I installed new Unicel grid. Got the Pleatco ordered and installed now. No difference in PSI. Now I got whole grids as backup.. I am at the end now. The pump may be not flowing enough to build PSI in the filter? I took the motor off and inspected the impeller. I...

… The new Veri-flow assembly didn’t fix the problem. I replaced the whole thing. That’s a great idea to check the base PSI without grid unit. So I did and without grid, it’s 20 PSI. With the grid, it’s 20 PSI… Ok my gauge may be broken so I took it to my in law who has same filter. With primed...

I didn’t get the Vari-flow assembly until yesterday (Friday) and life happened so I didn’t get a chance to install it yet. Will update. I have my chlorinator with 3 inch tabs and I drop floater with 3 inch tabs.. I take out floater as needed. The pump has been running at least 18 hours a day...

I assume you are trying to grow sweet red bell pepper which is just ripened green bell pepper. What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Re: skimmer basket out for several days hearing rattling noi Is the noise coming before the pump basket or after? Pump basket is to catch junk that got through skimmer basket.

Below is what I do when I get overwhelmed by algae or dirty pool: It usually falls on Thursday. Make sure system is working 100%. Put system to service mode. Clean skimmer basket and pump basket. Raise water level about 1 inch above normal level. Verify the PH is between 7.2 and 7.5. Backwash...

I moved into current house with Inground pool 11 years ago. The last owner had great heavy duty tarp that lasted me about 6 years. I don’t know how long he had used it for but when I got it, it was used at least once. After I retired that great tarp, I bought two new ones so far. Each of them...

It stopped at 20.5 PSI meaning manifold was good. That means I have spare manifold now.. :) New Vari-flow assembly is coming tomorrow so I’ll change the whole thing. I can’t attack on the algae problem until DE leak is fixed.

What's your PSI reading on cleaned and chraged filter? What is it reading now?

I close pool early Sept and Open at very beginning of June living in NJ. Average electric bill is $1,200 per year and in summer time, the bill spikes almost x2 of winter time.. I would dif look into two speed motor if I have pool open for longer time.

Why downgrade?

Started to run the 360 without bag attached now. That should bring up settled DE at the bottom of the pool to all over the pool. PSI running at 20 right now so within few hours, PSI “should” increase..

Here is picture of DE settling on stair from post 5. I can only image what the bottom of the pool is looking now.
