I think I finally found my clog.
I can see small bits trying to come out of the orifice plate (thin slits) and I think that is where my clog is that is raising my PSI on my filter. I used a very small thin screwdriver to try and dislodge it but saw a few plastic pieces that would not come out.
However there are 6 screws holding the plate. AND it is underwater. I tried using a screw driver to remove the screws but I can't get it to grip and they look rusty....
I tried using a shop vac to pull debris backward in the line before trying to dislodge, should I try again?
If I can that plate off....
Thoughts? Idea?
