Hello!
My fiancé and I just recently bought a house with a large (26000 gallon) inground pool & we have never had any pools before. When we first moved in (in December ‘18) everything was running great but since March we’ve been having a lot of trouble with our filter/pump. When we turn the pump on there is a lot of pressure coming through to begin the priming process, we can see the jets (not sure if they’re called that in pools) pushing a lot of water through and the skimmer pulling a lot in as well. But within 15 minutes this slows down to where there is barely any water going to or through either. The basket on the pump is only getting about half full and the filter itself is usually making a gurgling sound. The gurgling seems to be coming from where the pump feeds to the valve into the filter. We have tried backwashing and rinsing and this seems to make no difference. We can’t find any leaks but we don’t even really know where to start.
We have a Doheny pool filter system. It is approx. 2 years old (a little less).
Thank you!
