At the beginning of the season, I installed new Unicel grid. Got the Pleatco ordered and installed now. No difference in PSI. Now I got whole grids as backup.. I am at the end now. The pump may be not flowing enough to build PSI in the filter? I took the motor off and inspected the impeller. I...

… The new Veri-flow assembly didn’t fix the problem. I replaced the whole thing. That’s a great idea to check the base PSI without grid unit. So I did and without grid, it’s 20 PSI. With the grid, it’s 20 PSI… Ok my gauge may be broken so I took it to my in law who has same filter. With primed...

I didn’t get the Vari-flow assembly until yesterday (Friday) and life happened so I didn’t get a chance to install it yet. Will update. I have my chlorinator with 3 inch tabs and I drop floater with 3 inch tabs.. I take out floater as needed. The pump has been running at least 18 hours a day...

I assume you are trying to grow sweet red bell pepper which is just ripened green bell pepper. What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Re: skimmer basket out for several days hearing rattling noi Is the noise coming before the pump basket or after? Pump basket is to catch junk that got through skimmer basket.

Below is what I do when I get overwhelmed by algae or dirty pool: It usually falls on Thursday. Make sure system is working 100%. Put system to service mode. Clean skimmer basket and pump basket. Raise water level about 1 inch above normal level. Verify the PH is between 7.2 and 7.5. Backwash...

I moved into current house with Inground pool 11 years ago. The last owner had great heavy duty tarp that lasted me about 6 years. I don’t know how long he had used it for but when I got it, it was used at least once. After I retired that great tarp, I bought two new ones so far. Each of them...

It stopped at 20.5 PSI meaning manifold was good. That means I have spare manifold now.. :) New Vari-flow assembly is coming tomorrow so I’ll change the whole thing. I can’t attack on the algae problem until DE leak is fixed.

What's your PSI reading on cleaned and chraged filter? What is it reading now?

I close pool early Sept and Open at very beginning of June living in NJ. Average electric bill is $1,200 per year and in summer time, the bill spikes almost x2 of winter time.. I would dif look into two speed motor if I have pool open for longer time.

Why downgrade?

Started to run the 360 without bag attached now. That should bring up settled DE at the bottom of the pool to all over the pool. PSI running at 20 right now so within few hours, PSI “should” increase..

Here is picture of DE settling on stair from post 5. I can only image what the bottom of the pool is looking now.

No cracks that I can see. I took it apart and checked it 3 times in past 2 weeks but I did read somewhere on internet that it could have thin crack that’s very difficult to identify and when the pressure builds in filter, it opens and DE goes into pool. In past two weeks, PSI never reached over...

Picture looks pretty good. Here is old one OUT! Note: The legs on new one is shorter but it's same part #..

Just wanted to see how the picture I took with my phone look on the forum. Here is the new Manifold.

I am still getting DE into pool. I can see DE collecting/settling on the stairs. Sorry about #3 post… I was really annoyed about how poor this product was. After about two weeks of use and the “lip” of the gasket is flatter than OEM that was installed 4~5 years ago. I’m in process of returning...

OEM that I took out is back in action as of last night and water is still green.. In past when DE poured back into my pool, replacing spider gasket or replace damaged grid fixed the problem. Those are the two things I experienced so far. The “Valve Body” (the housing that connects to filter...

“Hayward Multiport Valve GO KIT 1 1/2" SP710, 711,& 712” kit I got from Amazon retailer to replace Spider gasket seem to be the problem. I have nothing against Amazon. I have problem with product that was delivered to me. Mock spider gasket included in the kit is just awful. I can’t believe...

So I checked it by turning off the pump for about 10 min and turning it back on. Green/brown water shot out. When the green/brown water shoots out, it's only for about 10 seconds but I’m 100% sure that DE is rushing out and I just can’t see it. DE goes to return very heavy once the pump is...

I have this problem when the pump is turned on, the green/brown water shoots out of the return. It started about a week ago. I had this happen before so: 1) I inspected the spider gasket and O ring for Vari-flow, looked good enough but I changed them with new(No lube). No Good. 2) I replaced...
