Sorry for the late followup - was away for work. ALso I just ordered and installed new grids for my DE filter - just in case the grids were blocked and causing low outflow. The low outflow through both outlet is still very low (one has no flow) - so the water is staring to get murky. As...

I had the service guy show up today - even though he was supposed to come next Wednesday - so i would have time to sort things out here. I was not home, He left a message saying that my return line was not working well. Here is his explanation he gave - that I have put granulated chlorine tabs...

It does not have a mutliport valve - at least not the one you can just recirculate the water. The 2 pipes bring water from skimmer and bottom vent the motor ..this goes to the the filter ..from there the pipes take it to the chlorinator and out to the outflow. I do not know how old my filter...

Leave the pump on for a week - trust me. I had my pump die a few years ago - it was off till they put in a new one. (it needed a week since the first repair guy tried to scam me ..long story :( ) The water looked SCARY. green and full of junk!! So yes unless someone can come in and turn it...

I open and resealed (with silicone lube) the filter basket. Also the skimmer weir is not stuck - it is kinda floating since there is not much suction there ( it still works) the suction in the skimmer goes up when I only have that on (turn dial to shut off ground suction port). Still no change...

Yes the pump strainer basket has been cleaned. When I backwash the flow through the backwash hose is very good, which means all the water INTAKE (from skimmer and bottom return) should be fine. Also the pump strainer basket fills up with water when backwashing. but as soon as I switch to filter...

Thanks for the reply. The Pressure is higher (27) than normal, usually it is about 20 psi. There are no valves to the outflow, since the water from the filter goes to the chlorinator (New water type) and then into the pool through the outlet. The near eye (deep end, close to the pump) has good...

I have read as much I can on this forum for hours :-D Great site, helpful people. I have owned this house and pool for 5 years. this year since I opened the pool 2 weeks ago, the water outflow pressure from the eye (2) is very low. I opened and cleaned my DE filter and removed each of the...
