    Need Help - EcoStar SP3400VSP - Have read tons of threads.... Still need help.

    Ok. In the past, the PSI would easily increase from 20-30 without any significant loss in output. Using the aerator, pop-up heads working etc. Now, with an increase of 5 or so in PSI, I see a drop in output AND the PSI does not ever increase 10PSI. I think I mentioned, but will state again...

    That does make sense Jason, however, I'm still trying to figure out what changed from last summer, even this spring, to make the pump behave differently. I want to make sure it's not the pump while I still have warranty left. I've tried Hayward, but end up having my work calls take priority...

    I don't think you are missing anything, but I will add some more context. I have never had this happen with this pump prior to the last 60 days, or with a single speed pump over the last 10 years. The water was/is clean, no storm or excess debris and then it starts losing performance. No...

    I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I've read many, many posts and comments and have tried multiple steps to fix the problem. 15k gallon in ground 48sqft DE filter - new grids last fall, cleaned and backwashed (2 times in last 60 days) In floor cleaner Waterfall Purchased and had...
