Got it, I think algae is most likely the culprit. Thank you so much!

hello! TA - 70 PH - 7.9 CH - 500 CYA - 65 CC - 7.5 FC - .5 Taylor 2006 kit Now that I'm looking at it, maybe the FC is too low and there is algae that is causing the filter to be clogged?

Hello! The pressure gauge does return to zero. I diassembled the filter, cleaned the grids and added the manufacturer's recommended amount of DE. Correct, that previous reading of 20 PSI was after adding DE and running the pool filter for 24 hours.

Hello, I have a pentair 4000 and when I first moved in and cleaned the grids manually the starting pressure was around 20. Now a month later it creeped up to around 29, so I cleaned it again and now its pressure is 25 PSI. The flow seems fine and I did the circulation checks and didn't spot...

Got it, thank you all!

Thanks for your response, I'll just keep an eye on it then and look into CSI management. Was there a reason you recommend only draining completely and not partially?

Hello, I have a new pool im learning to take care of via TFP and am doing one test per day. Currently my CH is reading 525 but the pool math app says ideal is 350 - 550. I'd like to get it down to 450, and the calcium hardness of the replacement water which i sourced from my sink is 250. The...

Thank you, I'll skip the backwash and manually clean!

Wow everyone here is amazing, thank you so much for identifying the model. I have no clue why it came with a Jandy manual!

Oh, thank you very much. It was extremely difficult to turn the handle on the bottom so I assumed I was wrong. Do you know which valve I should attach the backwash hose to?
