Hi All,
Hoping for some help…….. I have 2 issues, firstly low pressure and secondly chlorinator cell possibly wrong way around.
Pressure Loss:
We had someone out to have a look at our pool as we had lost pressure and was not sure why. Pool starts up at 7psi then drops to about 1psi in approximately 1 minute.
He had a look at the pool, pulled all the baskets out and the filter and it ran perfectly for him (note all baskets and filter were clean). He put everything back in and it continued to run without the loss of pressure for 3 days and now the same problem is happening again.
His visit cost us $200 and the problem is not fixed (can’t blame him as it did work perfectly for him but even he didn’t know why!)
We have replicated what he did and it has made no difference.
The pump is primed (hope I got that right, only a couple of small bubbles in the basket)
He turned the cell around AFTER he already had it working (ie we have had issues of it not working in both positions and also working in both positions)
Chlorinator Cell wrong way around:
He commented that our chlorinator cell was put on the wrong way. Which he turned around for us. However I am not sure if he was right. We have had 2 other people out to look at the pool on previous occasions and they have not commented, there is also the initial installer as well.
I have attached a picture of how he has put it in, the pump is to the right and the filter to the left of it.
I have also attached a picture from the manual which to me shows that it should be the other way around.
Before I change it back around I wanted some advice on wether it is the right or wrong way around, if so is it simple to change it back around myself.
Thanks in advance, hoping someone has the answer and can save us another call out that got us no where
I am hoping I am using the right terms as I am very new to pool speak
