Low pressure out of jets

[Glofton]

I’m getting low pressure coming out of the jets. I think my issue may be the filters. I’ve tried cleaning the with the TSP and acid and the pressure will be good when I first put them in but then slows down within a day. Pressure gauge goes from 20psi to 30psi. The reason I believe it’s the filters is because when I remove them and run the system without filters the pressure is good and stays good(10psi).

Just wanted to make sure there isn’t some other reason I could be missing. I’ve already ordered 4 new filters that will be here Wednesday. Just hope I don’t put the new filters in and they do the same thing.

What does your water look like? Could it just be clogging up the filter, like it is designed to do?

It is a little green because we have a little algae issue. Nothing too bad though. I wouldn’t think it would clog it that fast.

I have a test kit on order so I can start the SLAM.

If the water is not clear, the cartridge could clog very quickly.

Pressure going up 10lbs in a day tells you filter is doing its job. Keep cleaning it until you get
algae under control.
