Hello from upstate New York

[Tim M]

Above group pool working perfectly than!!! Hose from pool to sand filter blew off. Double cramped it, a few hours later, hose from sand filter to pool blew off, tighten all, filled pool etc. Than hose from motor to filter blew off? I backwashed after the second time. All was working fine prior. Any thoughts?

Hey Tim and welcome !! Well the good news is that blowing the hose between the filter and the pool means it’s not your filter or pump. Let’s say the filter was all gummed up and blocking flow, The hose would blow before it like it did the first time, not after like it did the second time.

Was this a new install and it all just needed re-seating ?
Did the return eyeball change or is something blocking it in that last section of flex pipe ?

If the pipe is clear and it keeps happening you can get a bigger eyeball to let more water through and relieve pressure on the pipe.

No pipes, not a new install and I doubt something was blocking. I will backwash again

Again, blowing the hose from the filter to the pool means that the restriction was after where it blew. So maybe it was just time for a good tightening, which is the drawback to most clamp based systems over rigid PVC. Keep us posted.
