Was helping my neighbor who broke the plug in his paramount diverter lid where the gauge is supposed to be(was a clear plastic plug that he broke which created a hole allowing water out of the lid during operation).
To my surprise his pressure was pretty low considering his filter pressure is 18. After we cleaned out the remaining pieces of clear plug we put in a pressure gauge. His pressure on the gauge reads zero when it runs. However, every single port is running simultaneously and every pop up is head is up and has mild weak flow(approx 25heads). The pressure at the heads is such that if the diverter was working as designed each set of 5 heads would have a very strong output.
The system worked fine before he broke the plug and we pulled off the lid (see pic attached of lid)
I tried inserting the lid in different orientations even though the manual says it doesn’t matter. For reference, the 6 pegs are aligned with the base holes and it locks in flush and can’t be rotated. The rubber o-ring is fine. There are no leaks during operation.
Any ideas what would cause every single head to pop up during operation?
