Problem: SWG is alarming after 10-15 minutes of pump running as small leaves and debri is clogging the small filter screen leading to the salt cell. I can clean the debri away, restart and things run good for the 10-15 minutes and then same thing over again.
I believe this means that the small pieces are getting through the skimmer basket, the pump basket, past the DE Filter and then to the filter screen before the cell. I have cleaned the DE blades and replaced the handle assembly to switch between normal flow and backwash (not sure what that piece is called) so I have new O-rings, etc in place in/out of the DE filter. I also replaced the top plastic piece that the filter blades connect to within the DE Filter (it's a hayward DE-6000)
any suggestions other than putting finer screens in place at the skimmer basket, etc.? Anything else within the DE filter itself to check for?
thanks,
sean
