New Member with some questions

Recirculation works, back wash works. When I switch to filter it runs great for about 5 minutes. Then water goes flat no activity. If I switch to recirculation or back wash then filter, it runs for a another 5 minutes then flat again.....

HELP,

IG pool 16x32

It sounds like something in the water is quickly clogging your filter.

Is it a cartridge filter?

What does your water look like?

Can you post a full set of test results so we can better analyze?

Welcome to TFP!!

Sounds like you have a filter issue - I'm thinking / guessing you have a DE filter. (Dave, cart filters don't have multiports - so that's not an issue here 8) ) Please give this thread a read and see if it helps 8)
