    Loud filter sound

    Techguy, I have forgotten about your last question. I pushed filter down, tried to lift it, moved it to the left/right - nothing changed the noise. This time the loud noise came up 15 minutes after I switched the pump to high speed. Thanks again

I have decided to switch to the salt water generator. Today, due to installation problems, my pool was drained, fixed and filled with...
