Got my LQ and hooked it up and its running, just not as I expected. Immediately I had no flow from the unit with the flow adjustment valve wide open. I had hooked up the "out" port to the strainer basket drain as suggested in other posts. I thought that the check valve on the "out" side was the problem, so I swapped it out with a union. Still no flow. I remembered Bama Rambler suggesting that you retard the valve from the strainer basket and voila, I had flow. I took my pump pressure from 11.5 down to 10 and got 3.5 on the flow meter. The only way to get more flow was to retard the valve more, which in turn decreased the pump pressure reading and made the pump motor sound like it was straining. It's working, just not as I would like. I hooked up the "in" side as close to the filter as the directions stated, drilled a hole and used their hose clamp. If I have to move any of these fittings I'm O.K. with that. I don't know if the gate valves are the issue, the puck chlorinator (for vaca only), or what? Do I need to replace the check valve on the "out side"? Attached are some pics of the setup, and any comments or suggestions would be welcome.
