Good morning-
Finally got around to switching out my old sand filter to a new cartridge filter. The Texas freeze cased some issues with my sand one, so I went ahead and bought the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus Cartridge Filter | 420 Sq. Ft. | 160301. Overall was pretty easy. See pic attached. I have two sort of unrelated questions.
1) My initial pressure is 16 PSI. for some reason I thought I read it would be in single digits. I mean it all runs good, and the force of water coming out now is much more powerful than my sand filter (can now run at lower speeds!) Is this normal?
2) As part of my Intellisync control I have a water temperature gauge. The thought of drilling into the PVC pipe to use this scares me! With the gauge and the clamp over it, will it be air tight?
TIA!
