Hello all,
My pool pump seems to pump (with force) for about an hour and then afterwards barely moves the water. I feel like i'm wasting electricity because I leave it on all day and night and nothing is really happening. You can hear it, but don't see any movement(or very little) does it make sense to keep it on while I await the test kit?


A few things:
The Pressure thingy is reading almost 20...is that too high/low?
I have D.E., but i don't know how much to put in after backwashing
Do I need to open the filter and hose it down?(can that be even done)
I have switched it off, and regenerated it as per the instructions but that only works for a short period.


Your thoughts!
 
As long as you have enough FC in the pool, you can leave the pump off. That's all that really matters.

But there are cleaning instruction you should follow in the manual.
