    I'm working on a Sta-Rite C48K2PA105 1hp motor. I want to know if this is a 48Y or 56Y frame. Looking for a front-end bell. I could measure the diameter but thought I'd ask the wizards instead. Thanks.

    new pool owner - first time opening. high PSI, skimmers don’t work.

    Do you have a 6 position valve? If yes select waste that should by pass filter. If not open your filter drain and let the algae slime drain out that way. May have to connect a drain line.

    new pool owner - first time opening. high PSI, skimmers don’t work.

    Filter media is clogged. Backwashing will not resolve. Must Clem filters manually. I would bypass filter and put all the algae down your sewer clean out.

    If your going the sand route then use the zeobrite it holds more dirt and last longer.. With DE there is a non DE filtering agent on the market that work quite well. Good luck with what ever type of filter you choose.
