I've got a new-to-me problem. I have an above ground pool, Hayward DE filter. I hooked everything up, and ran the pump. All was looking fine, except for a steady drip (or light flow) coming out of the filter's drain valve. It looked to me like it was coming out of the inside of the pipe, so I guessed something was wrong internally. I tried tightening it; no luck. Today I bought a brand new drain valve, put plumber's tape on it, and installed it. When the pump is running, there's still water dripping out of it! The valve is closed all the way.
I don't know if it's related or not, but my pressure gauge reads '0' when the pump is running. I have no idea if these issues could be connected. Also, I have not added any DE into the filter yet. Any ideas?
By the way, great site redesign! I haven't been on here in a year or two, but it looks great!
