Hi All,
I had a nightmare installing a new filter yesterday, definitely may be what caused this problem, but got it going with some new plumbing and no water leaks, however...
First scoop of DE definitely shot back out the returns for a minute or so (maybe less) and then stopped. When it stopped I continued to load it up with DE and nothing seems to be coming out the returns anymore. Spa definitely still looks a bit cloudy still but I've left the filter going now and am hoping it will clear up. I cannot see any more DE coming out the returns since the first 30-60 seconds after the first scoop of DE.
This is a Hayward DEP 80, which is very similar to the Pentair Quad DE filters. Am I fooling myself? Is there definitely a problem that needs to be addressed?
