So I noticed my filter wasn't working properly after cleaning the filter a few weeks ago and I noticed he DE wasn't coating the full grid and there was a bunch of DE on the bottom. I released all air out of the system before putting in the DE. The grids are about 4 months old. I have attached a...

Anyone?

If I put it pointing down, that sends half the flow to the waterfall, and the other half to the popups I believe. It is currently to the right which directs the full flow to the cleaning sytem. Also, side note, since the pressure increase happened, the waterfall has been A LOT weaker than it...

Oh you are talking about the ones in the actual pool? Should i just unscrew them and see what happens?

eyeballs on which return fittings? Sorry, not familiar

So recently my Hayward 4 cartridge filter has been at around 35 PSI when running. The manifold did have a crack and I changed that last week, which I am assuming cracked due to the high pressure. I have cleaned the cartridges (about 2.5 years old) multiple times in the last month since I thought...

Thanks. What would the ideal pressure be in this instance if there was no blockage?

Hello! Yea, the algae has been taken care of and I have shocked accordingly. But other than the algae, RIGHT after cleaning the cartridges, the pressure was still high. and i thought that if the water isn't moving as much as it should, algae grows faster? BUt ok sounds good. I have been reading...

Hello, I have a cartridge filter for a 15000 gallon pool. Recently, the pressure has been very high, was at around 30PSI, took them out and cleaned them, noticed the manifold was broken, replaced it, and it was back at 22-23 PSI after cleaning of the cartridges (just with a hose). I have also...

My pool light went out a while ago and I took out the fixture to fix it and noticed it was full of water. Should I replace just the bulb and the seal or is the entire fixture most likely bad?

Yes it sounds like it's working really hard but you can't really hear that flowing water sound. - - - Updated - - - If there was something in the impeller wouldn't it affect the drain too and not just the vacuum?

I live in Arizona and the temperatures are at like 100-110 on average right now and my CYA levels are through the roof. I have green and black algae in the pool and don't really know what to do since my cya levels are so high and it would ruin my pool to drain in this heat.

It's more recent in the last like 4-5 months, the vacuum used to be pretty strong and actually had suction.
