Greetings all.
If this topic is covered in another thread, please redirect me to that one as I don't want to duplicate subjects which have already been covered. I am brand new to the forum so I am not real familiar with all the thread history.
I currently have an Intex metal frame pool. The intake opening on the inside wall is a plastic strainer rather than a plain opening that you'd have in a skimmer-style opening. I am running a Hayward Perflex EC50 and I think that the opening is likely too small because my PSI is running around 18 (which my pool guy tells me is too high). Do you think that this may be the reason for the higher PSI?
Does anyone know if there is a different intake fitting that I can use to replace the current one? The strainer is messing things up when I vacuum- catching a lot of the debris and then interfering with the suction.
I realize that I'm dealing with Intex which is the DYI of pools. But at present, this is what we can afford as opposed to a "traditional" pool so I have to do the best with what I have.
Thanks for any direction..
