    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    Well it's much better than it was. We just bought the house (it was bank owned) and the bank just filled it and pretty much left it. If I could spend a couple days straight cleaning the filter every few hours I think it would be clear in a few days time. Gonna do another FC test tonight to...

    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    For the most part. I have been slacking on checking the FC but mostly because I cant sit by the pool everyday. I have been brushing the pool and cleaning the filter daily. I have a Taylor K 2006 test kit.

    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    I will post some test results tonight after I am able to get home and do the tests. I am still getting frogs in the pool. I tested a few days ago and FC was about 16. I didnt think they could live with that much chlorine. The filter is still clogging up pretty quickly. However I can now...

    New pool build in CA

    I was looking at the pictures thinking, "wow, that looks just like Sonora." I am in Sonora too, over in Apple Valley. I will be looking to get my pool resurfaced in the somewhat near future, have you been happy so far with who you have?

    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    After I backwash its about 10-12 psi. When I lose flow it's in the 20ish psi range. I will admit that most times I just glance at the pressure gauge and I dont really remember.

    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    I am not totally confident since I would think that it would stay fully primed if the issues was after the pump.

    Filter seems to clog after a couple hours

    I will check around the pump for leaks tonight. Just a note however, if I turn the pump off and back on it will prime itself and still get no flow out of the return line. It's only if I backwash and/or spray off the filter that I get flow. Thats what I thought at first, but a lot of the...
