I just installed a brand new Pentair FNS Plus 10008 DE filter 3 days ago and it's leaking DE back into the pool. I have a build up of DE on the opposite ends of the return jets and and a slight coating on the floor of the pool. Yesterday I took the filter apart and cleaned off the grids to look for damage, however, I couldn't find any. I also checked the stand-pipe O-ring and lubricated it with a silicone based lubricant. Everything is brand new (Pump, multi-port Valve, and filter).
I guess my next step is to take apart the filter again and disassemble the manifold and check for any damage. I'm thinking maybe something broke or came loose during shipping.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks
