Hi everyone,
So my situation is I have an in ground pool, DE filter, and everything seems to be operating normally and properly... for a while.
This pool was just opened for the season, on day 3 or so, this started happening yesterday.
What ive noticed is that the system runs fine for around 30 minutes-1hr, and the pressure will start to climb. Once it gets to around 40psi the pump is still running but there is no longer water moving through the jets, and there is visible air in the system at the basket.
A quick backwash (or long backwash) seems to correct the issue for another 30m to 1 hr, brings pressure back to normal.
What ive tried:
- backwashing (on backwash #5 in 3 days)
- Closing skimmers
-Ensuring water level is more than high enough
- checking seals on pump basket and auto chlorinator.
Any ideas?
TIA
