I have an issue that I can't figure out why is happening.
When I turn my Solar Heater on, my Chlorine Generator reads "inadequate water flow", so it stops generating. I thought at first it was my DE filter, so I cleaned it all out and pressure now reads it's initial charge reading of 10PSI when Solar Heat is off. When I turn the Solar Heat on, it reads just under 14PSI. I'm not sure why pressure is going up, I would think the opposite would happen, but maybe my mind is not understanding the physics correctly of what's taking place.
I've read for efficiency, Solar Heaters work best with 2" piping. The pipes going to the roof are all 2", but get reduced to 1.5" before going into the Salt Cell and then into the Pool with the flex hoses. They are also 1.5" from the basket, through pump, through filter, then go back up to 2" right after the filter. Would this possibly be the reason why?
The output jet into the pool is still very strong when I turn the Solar Heat on, so it's not like I feel reduced pressure there.
