    DE only coating half of grid

    So I noticed my filter wasn't working properly after cleaning the filter a few weeks ago and I noticed he DE wasn't coating the full grid and there was a bunch of DE on the bottom. I released all air out of the system before putting in the DE. The grids are about 4 months old. I have attached a...

    Cartidge filter high pressure at 35 PSI when filter is running

    So recently my Hayward 4 cartridge filter has been at around 35 PSI when running. The manifold did have a crack and I changed that last week, which I am assuming cracked due to the high pressure. I have cleaned the cartridges (about 2.5 years old) multiple times in the last month since I thought...

    High pressure in cartridge filter even after cleaning cartridges

    Hello, I have a cartridge filter for a 15000 gallon pool. Recently, the pressure has been very high, was at around 30PSI, took them out and cleaned them, noticed the manifold was broken, replaced it, and it was back at 22-23 PSI after cleaning of the cartridges (just with a hose). I have also...

    Water leaked into light fixture. Change whole fixture or just bulb and gasket?

    My pool light went out a while ago and I took out the fixture to fix it and noticed it was full of water. Should I replace just the bulb and the seal or is the entire fixture most likely bad?

    Have algae and CYA levels in pool are at 90-100 and can't drain

    I live in Arizona and the temperatures are at like 100-110 on average right now and my CYA levels are through the roof. I have green and black algae in the pool and don't really know what to do since my cya levels are so high and it would ruin my pool to drain in this heat.

    Vaccum doesn't work/no movement or suction when filter is set to full vaccum

    So I've had a lot of problems with my filter and pump. I have backwashed and took out my DE grids and cleaned them down and my pool system still seems very weak. The pressure of my tank is unusually high (20-25) after backwashing. One thing I have noticed is that my vacuum does not work at all...

    Black and green algae keep on coming back

    So a little background, I have a 25000 gallon pool and spa. One of the issues in the pool that I believe causes a lot of problems is that there is no popups in the water other than on the stairs so the water does not circulate much even if the vaccum is on and running in the pool. For the past 6...
