well it had a sand filter before working at 10psi but 70 feet away from the pool. I got a bigger filter and moved it closer to the pool reducing at least 35ft of run. what i have been reading is that it has to work at around 10 to 15 psi but 5 seems to low. so let me try to run a snake and clean...

well this is my first pool i do not know what normal fills like but i have tried 3 different gauge all read same

Hello guys here is the problem. I moved my pool equipment closer to the pool for convenience. It was 70 feet away before, now it is like 25ft. I install a Hayward DE filter 6020 and a Sta-rite Dura Glass pump of 1.0hp. Before it was a sand filter with a unknown sears pool pump 1.0hp from the...

allright i think i got it guys.

Cya=20 Ph=6.8 CL=5 is the one that is nex to PH on the test that turns yellow or orange. CC=0 FC=6 CH=175 TA=40 TC=6 what do i need to fix.

Well this is the problem I'm having. my pump seems to be working and there is no bubbles on the the basket area from there the pipe goes to the filter mulch-switch valve but inside the valve sounds like there are little rocks inside or something. i open the valve and is working fine. and all...

Running out of ideas here. can i upload somewhere a video so you guys can see what im hearing and seeing?

Ok i think i got a solution for now will this work? Is a 2" check valve that prevents back-flow it is rated at (150psi at 73F) <---- this is what I'm worry about please advice

gosh how do i remove all this powder in the pool now? lol

How did i end up with DE on my pool if it is showing no sign of been sent throw the return lines? but i do see it on my pump when i start up the pump it turns white inside then clear and i do notice it on my main drain in pool too. help please.

one more question can air leak in the filter side cause this issue? It makes sounds like it has air inside but when i open the air valve and only water comes out.

can i use a regular 30psi gauge? like from auto part? or home depot. problem is i need one asap

This is the reading i get with this gauge on my new setup? You guys thing this may be the problem?

Ok I'm going to return this one and get a 30psi gauge i be back with results.

guys the gauge they gave me on pinch a penny was 100psi will this maybe y problem?

I explained wrong i meant before there were 4 returns connected to 1 - 2inch pipe. now i have 6 returns 4 that i had in 1 pipe and 2 extra in a new 2" pipe.

It was 10 psi but it only had 1 suction pipe and 1 return pipe. I added 1 more suction from the main and 2 more returns. so today i installed the new gauge and test my system and doesn't go above 2psi with all suctions and return on.

This is my setup so far. About the pump i only know that is a 1hp and the suction is really good and there is no air bubble. I did notice tho that if i shut down 2 of my returns it will go up to 5psi

I installed a Hayward De6020 filter with 1hp pump. I'm only like 25ft away from the pool now compared to 70ft that i was before. My pool has 2 suction pipe 1 from the skimmer and i new one i made from the main drain everything with 2 inch pipe. then from pump to filter and from filter to 4...

:p Yes! my first house with pool and i haven't been able to swim on it yet lol. water is at 65F. i will be buying panels hopefully this weekend. thank you guys

Thanks for the fast reply wow! so according to my pool measurements any idea how many panels i need?

Hello guys i finally finish re-piping my pool and installing my new Hayward DE 6020 filter. Now i wanted to find out if solar panels are really worth it? and which one do you guys recommend. By the way my pool is 32x18 and has approximately 17k gallons. Get a pool cover and solar panels?

alright guys i figure it out and was able to re-pipe the whole pool and install my new filter. Thanks jblizzle for all your help.

Hello guys I'm learning more and more about my pool but any idea what type of skimmer i have? i cant find it any where.

Thanks i will send pictures of my setup as soon as i finish it. Should i put my new equipment as close to the pool as possible? im 70ft away from the pool i do not understand why prior owner did such a bad job.

should i buy the 2" valve or the 1.5" valve for the DE filter? it came with the 1.5" but since i have 2" pipe should i get the 2"inch?

I just finish doing the calculation of y pool. Pool is 32ft long and 18ft wide with 4ft average depth. That means my pool is 17,280 gallons approximately. I try to do the calculation for feet of head and I'm so confuse doing that. My pool has only one inlet and is 70ft away from the skimmer...

I think the hole next to the skimmer may be to put the vacuum but im still intrigue about the two holes on the shallow part of the pool. They look like jets but i may be wrong. maybe swim jets? i will put better pictures today when i get home. thanks in advance
