Good afternoon..
I have a Pentair cartridge filter.
The builder installed the pool last spring, so these filters are just one year old now.
I was going to open the pool for the season soon, so i opened up the the filter to clean the cartridges and noticed all the tops and bottoms of the each cartridge deteriorating..there is blue particles that easily come off.
It certainly doesn't look right.. I did read another post and someone mentioned high PH .. but if you look at my pool logs from last summer, you'll notice I really never had a PH issue... near the end of the season after being stable, it kept going up .. but nothing a little MA didn't easily handle. I tested 4 -5 time a week at least.
I test with 2006C Taylor kit.
All of last year ( because of the supply issues) I didn't run my SWG.. so was just doing daily doses of liquid chlorine.
Recently I did take my spa water sample in to be tested, and they reported my Ph was fine ( as well did my spa - self test), but the ph drop test was reporting a little high.. I bought a new bottle of Ph and compared the 2 bottles results.. and they reported the same ..
