Thanks again... Running the pump at spa speed 3000 RPM ... the filter is at 21PSI... I now have a variety of PSI baselines to reference to be more proactive once we hit near 25%

Back in business... Baseline readings after installing new gauge, adding new air relief screen, removing all air from filter, and adding back (8) 1/2 scoops from Blue Devil of CelaPerl. Baseline readings after Filter cleaning: Pool Pump rpm / Visiflow reading / Filter PSI 1200 rpm / 30 GPM...

New air bleeder cap… left side is new aftermarket

Thanks.. have almost a full bag of Perlite left so may just use it up with the new air bleeder and monitor baseline pressure to not exceed 25% from baseline... do a change and inspect air bleeder... will be able to tell if it was due to me going higher on pressure and or the media type...

Thanks... Maybe I will switch up to CelaPool for this season plus a new air bleeder screen scrap... while monitoring 25% more closely.... If the DE is preferred over the perlite in CelaPerl.

Agree... if I am to consider moving away from the CelaPerl... any pool-grade DE recommendations available in Southern California...? Also curious about any use of CelaPool ..

Awesome.. after the last PVC Elbow, 90 Degrees, Socket x Socket, 1-1/4 in ... @My_Hiatus what do you have setup and sizing, adapter bushings etc from the straight 1-1/4" pipe to the value?

Maybe this aftermaket style that has rounded edges vs. Pentair sharper right angle edges will make it more forgiving plus me cleaning sooner after 25% increase in pressure over time..
