    Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed?

    Re: Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed I have to wonder how frustrating it must have been for you to "watch" as I missed the obvious. As I said, I made it MUCH more confusing that it had to be. I was looking at the pop-up controllers, etc, that had NOTHING to do with...

    Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed?

    Re: Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed First, I am jealous of your Tapatalk! Don't ever apologize for it. And, I believe I did post my PVC work. It is the new plumbing from the pump to the intake [top valve] of the filter. And, the cap where the bypass used to go...

    Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed?

    Re: Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed Thank you! I like your suggestion. The valve has been questioned by everyone who has ever seen it. The bubbles...As I recall, they are nearly gone...but I need to check. I tightened the lid to the skimmer valve just before the pump...

    Re: Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed Happy Friday the 13th...I am back. First, you identified the leaks without even realizing it. Two (2) substantial leaks in the horizontal plumbing that is "too long" from the pump up and past the filter. Possibly the overheating...

    Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed?

    Re: Can I run Cartridge Filter with the 4 cartridges removed Please don't apologize! After "correction", with skimmer or floor closed, the other runs with no pressure change and no "vortex" creation. If I were gussing at "problems" I would still guess that the pup-ups blow dirt into the...
