Jets Work But Then Stop

[strick211&]

I noticed while my filter was running, I wasn’t getting any water coming out either of my jets. I backwashed for a couple minutes and then turned it back to filter. Water began to come out the jets like normal. I walked off and got busy with another task. When I came back to my pool, there wasn’t any water coming out the jets again. I can’t say how long of a timeframe it was before the problem started. I’m a beginner when it comes to all this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to TFP.

What test kit do you have? What is your water chemistry?

Likely cause is you have algae even if your pool looks clear. The algae is clogging your filter after a time. The way we clear algae is with the SLAM Process

Please create your signature with details of your pool and equipment so we can give you specific advice.
