Hello there,
I have a 15000 gal. in ground pool. I am in the process of getting it ready for spring and summer, but I am facing a bit of a problem with my main pump. I have a WhisperFlo WF28 C, and a Pentair Clean and Clear Plus cartridge filter.
over the winter here in the Houston area we had a few overnight freezes, and I noticed that water was leaking from the top of the pump (exit) so I changed the piping coming out of it. At the time I also changed the gasket that seals motor, and the o-ring that goes in the diffuser.
I cleaned the filters last weekend the gauge on the filter was about 25 psi, and then when I turned it on the pump went from 14 psi to about 5-6 psi in about about half an hour and there was a noise as if it was sucking air.
In the last few days I've changed the o-ring that goes in the filter cover, and again the gasket and o-ring I mentioned previously.
There is a Jandy valve right before the pump, I also changed all o-rings in it (three).
after all the changes, I turned it on and it worked for a bit, it had good pressure, but within about half an hour it lost pressure again, this time it went from 14 psi to about 8-9. I'm at a loss on what to do.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
best.
