Hi Folks
20'-40', liner, salt water pool, Hayward swim clear cartridge filter
Experiencing steady high pressure for the first time since installation 8 yrs ago, 22 PSI, usually about 13-14. Replaced cartridges and motor 2 yrs ago with genuine Hayward. All outlets flowing well, all intakes working well, but one I have seen is strangely slow to expel for the few few minutes at start up, furthest from filter, then opens up just fine. Pressure stays steady at 22 throughout this however.
After I've cleaned the 4 cartridges (several times this season), at first start up pressure is about 15 but within a day or so it goes up to the 22 psi. Water is clear, pool appears to be functioning perfectly. Gage does return to zero at shut down. I would suspect a blockage on the outlet that sometimes is slow to start flowing but even after it opens up allowing flow, pressure remains high at 22.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
