No, the pump sounds very smooth and pretty quiet for a 2 HP single speed. I backwashed the filter again and will see if I can get anymore extended time out of the pump now.
I also just quickly tested the water and I believe the results I got were:
PH - 7.5
FC - somewhere between 2-4. It was hard to tell on the Taylor test so I may retry with the TF kits more accurate test.
CYA - first time testing so may be a bit off, but appeared to be between 75-90 ish.
I am thinking this means I will need to SLAM the pool once I can get the filter running continuously?
