Hey guys. I'm back. I replaced my Intelliflo 3HP system with a Hayward 1HP pump the local store had. My pool was a crazy green since I waited a couple weeks before replacing the pump. After the first night, on boost (SWG), my pool turned milky white. A couple days later, I could see the bottom on the shallow end (but not super clearly).
A week has gone by and it hasn't gotten any better. My filter is reading 10PSI. It's been reading that all week. I backwashed once (gauge never went up so I didn't bother to backwash).
I'm wondering if my flow is too low to properly filter (can that be?). Or is my filter "channeled"? I don't have a way to measure the gallons per minute going through.
I have a Sand Dollar 80. I didn't see a "minimum flow rate" to work properly.
Am at a loss as to what to do next.
Steve
