    Intex sand filter pressure too high flow too low

    Im suddenly having an issue with my filter. The pressure is steadily in the middle of yellow no matter how much i back wash. Now i dont have enough water flow to run my intex vaccum. I have a swg as well.

    Diesel in pool

    Diesel in pool

    Saltwater system

    So it’s not dangerous for pressure to run 10?

    Saltwater system

    So I did have it backwards but doesn’t seem to matter as far as pressure. Air is bled out. As soon as it’s hooked up running or not the pressure goes borderline yellow. I have Intex 3000 gph sand filter

    Saltwater system

    Well I hooked up my new sand filter which is more powerful and it’s causing pressure to building up. I’ve backwashes and rinse twice but I figured out it’s the swg. When I unhooked it the pressure goes down. Odd. I’m just going to leave it off and use chlorine for now 😔

    Saltwater system

    I just realized my salt is low. An accident caused a lot of water loss. I’m down from 3600 to 2600 but I’m not sure how B much salt to add. I’ve had difficulty figuring out how much out put for my unit. I’m thinking 1 more bag of salt? I think it said somewhere in manual 4 per hour which was...

    Saltwater system

    I upgraded my pool shortly after I had bought my intex saltwater system. It’s made for up to 4,500 gallons and my new pool is 6,000. It’s also full sun and 95 here with heat index over 100. Running it 12 hours a day it still can’t keep up. Anything I can do besides buying a new swg?

I also have what look to be red mites and I swear they bite me too. I only have these when I have a pool. How do I get rid of these so I can enjoy my time outside?! I...
