So for over 6 months I’ve had high PSI (30 starting), that 5 different crews couldn’t figure out. I’ve thoroughly cleaned filters, I’ve bought brand new filters, I’ve had the lines flushed on two different occasions (and nothing came out)…and nobody could solve the high pressure. So I dealt with just extremely low output from my 2 furthest returns (4 total, plus a separate pressure side vacuum line), but never during this time did I leak water.
But now I’ve just dug up a leak that’s loosing 1/4” of water if I run the pool for 4 hours.
So after recently cleaning brand new filters, my pressure still jumped to 35 psi, along with the leak. I can’t wrap my brain around how I can have a leak, but still have very high pressure. Anyone experience anything like this?
background info:
- Pool was built in 93 - 13k gallon
- All new equipment installed less than 2 years ago.
- after digging, found that main drain, skimmer and waterfall plumbing used rigid pvc. Vacuum and return plumbing (leak in the return line) used flexible pvc…..
- simple setup - Pentair 60 DE filter with no backwash, booster pump, and 1 hp pump
