Hey everyone I'm new to this site but I've learned alot already by reading through some of your post. I'm having a problem with a new sand filter pump that I hope someone can help me with.
The pump is an Intec 1600 gph sand filter pump. I put the recommended sand in and it started up great. The problem is that after about an hour of running the water flow diminishes greatly and the pressure goes to 10 psi. After backwashing and rinsing the water flow is great again but the pressure never goes down below 7 psi. Needless to say I'm having to backwash way to often and its been this way since start up two weeks ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and Thx in advance.
