Hi All,
I am new to the forum. New to pools too. My pool is old,
I have a DE filtering system.
After just letting it run, water was still cloudy so I decided to backwash and open up the filter and hose it. I added the 2 pounds of DE, let it run for 24 hours, and the water was looking perfect again. Then I turned off.
When I turned on, again dirt started coming again from the filter to the pool. I also noticed that my pressure in only like 5, but pump still is able to suck water.
1. I think that the low pressure might be caused by improper closing of the filter (clamp not properly adjusted). I will try to re- do it later.... but still is it 10 PSI too low?
2. Why is dirt being send back to the pool. I hosed the filter, and it was not really dirty. The system was able to clean all properly. This only happened after I turned off, and turned on again.
Any ideas, suggestions?
