Over the past several weeks, I have had to gradually increase the number of RPM of my Pentair VSP pump from 1600 to 3,000 to avoid the dreaded low flow red led on my Pentair SWG. It has now got to the point where I can't even turn it back to green.
I have cleaned the SWG unit (the unit is only one year old) and skimmers are clear. The pool has an automatic pool cover and is kept clean. I have also cleaned my filter cartridges and the pressure filter gauge is looking good.
I am trying to troubleshoot the problem but have had not much success...
Any suggestion on identifying where the issue could be? My ideas are:
- something wrong with the 5 year old VSP pump that has gradually lost efficiency (hope not!)
- some blockage somewhere
- an issue with the SWG unit
Any suggestion/help is welcome!
Thanks in advance.
