I'm at a loss. I'm a new pool owner, I have a 20' round above ground pool with a Hayward power Flo matrix pump and Hayward perflex ec50 DE filter. When I start my system and regenerate the filter, I get a hard stream out of the return but after awhile (45 min to an hour) the return is very weak/slow. The pressure listed on the filter is a consistent 22. I have taken the whole thing apart, cleaned everything, looked for leaks, checked O rings and tried again with no DE. I'm at a loss about what could be wrong or what else I could try. Could it be the pump? I don't think it is because it starts off strong and the pressure on the filter stays consistent, but I can't think of anything else. If I shut it off and regenerate, it will be strong again and gradually fade out. ANY ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
