Good afternoon Guys,
I am new to TFP. I had my pool built about 3 months ago. My filter pressure was at 10 when pool was opened. I have been getting the water tested at my local pool store. The first time I went in, I was giving stabilizers, calcium plus, and PH down. After about 2 weeks or so, I start get a lot of calcium flakes in the pool. Thinking nothing of it, I would brush and vacuum. After a month of doing this, I saw filter pressure was at 13PSI and I decided to clean it. And there was a lot of calcium flake in there. I put everything back together and filter pressure remained at 13PSI. At this point, I stopped using PH down and started using Muriatic Acid to control the PH level. The amount of calcium flakes reduced by a lot. I dont see them much at all anymore. 3 months in, my filter pressure is now at 16PSI. I just cleaned it and it is still at 16PSI. I am using a filter flosser to clean the filter.
Would the calcium flaking in my pool earlier cause the SWG to create blockage? Should I be cleaning that now.
I have Pentair superflo 2HP, Clean and Clear Plus 420, Mastertemp 400, Ichlor i30 for a 11340 gallon pool.
