Hi all
2 questions.
1) Have a Waterco CC75 cartridge filter, that leaks out the top from time to time.
Looks like this - http://www.ozpoolsupplies.com.au/images/watermarked/1/detailed/0/Trimline_Cartrid_4dd1cef78e65f1359952090510f38da38b08.jpg
The O-ring was replaced recently, so is in good condition, and only use silicone.
How tight do you normally need to screw on the top?
How much/little silicon should I be using?
Occasionally I get it right and it doesn't leak, but other times no matter how tight/loose the top is, or how much/little silicon I use, it'll leak a little bit (which over 8 hours/day leads to a fair amount of water loss).
Any tips for a tight seal 100% of the time?
2) I have 3 return jets in my pool, and I've only just noticed that one of them (one situated toward the bottom of the pool in the deep end) doesn't work.
Any ideas why 1 out of 3 wouldn't work?
It seems to be having an impact on circulation, as I'm battling an algae problem that seems worst down the deep end (NB: I'm about to order a test kit so I can SLAM the pool correctly, I have spent $$'s on algaecides before I found this site!!!)
Any ideas on how I might fix this, or will I need to get a professional in (hoping not cos I fear it will cost $$$$'s)
Thanks all
