I must not have said it but yes I did break it down, clean and inspect the filter. Yes on the DE after the backwash.

Thx. Oddly enough I just checked everything and now the pressure and water flow is back to normal at 20 PSI this morning. The testing aside what could cause the fluctuations in pressure like that?

Thx!

Still can’t figure out why the signature isn’t showing up. It’s there in my profile. Here is the info: 50k in ground free form w/ spa & negative edge. Jandy 1.5 hps, Jandy 2.0 hp, and Jandy variable speed filter pump. 60Sq in DE filter w/ ozone, Jandy heater, polaris w/ booster pump. I have...

Auto chlorinated w/ tablets. We have two inch pipes on the pumps if that matters. Jandy 60 DE filter

I inherited this pool from the previous owners along with the settings on the pool. That’s what they had. We have 50k gallons to move and using the jandy calculator that was pretty close on 8-9 hours of run to get one turn over. Curious on why not to run it that high? (Mainly because I just...

Thx. Any thoughts on the fluctuation in pressure or could that be a result of the dirty filter as well?

Repeatedly shocking it and fixing the filter cleared it up in about a day.

I saw resolved because the pool isn’t green anymore :). No scientific evidence just the good old sight test. I’ll look at the link, thx.

Didn’t get a chance to edit before you replied. Yes we had an algae issue that was also indicative of the filter problem. That was resolved and we backwashed the next week. Algae is good now but I’m wondering if the residual algae that got sucked up got the filter dirty again. Also worth...

Hi all. A little history first. Back up a few weeks and we had a filtering issue that was noticed during a backwash and DE was immediately coming out of the jets when putting new powder in. Tore down the filter, no tears in the grids, seals and manifold look good. Clean and put it back...

Thanks again for all the help.
