Hi everyone,
I just purchased this home with this pool and it’s been a few years since I’ve had to maintain one. I’m excited to get back into it. The equipment appears to be in poor condition. The filters were extremely dirty, o-rings for the filters were missing and the pressure gauge was broken. I replaced the pressure gauge first and found that pressure was sitting at 15 psi. I then replaced the filters and o-rings tonight and then my pressure was at 30 psi. I decided to let it run a few minutes and I started seeing a lot of cloudy mess shooting out of the return closes to the pump. I had not seen this before. It never stopped until I turned the pump off. Also I noticed the pressure started jumping from 10 psi to 30 psi. Any idea as to what could be wrong? I attached some photos. The pool is approximately 15,000 gallons from what I can tell and I’m located in the Dallas area if that matters. Thanks for the help in advance
