My sand filter recently started to split at the seam. Pool company here said my pump was too powerful for the filter. Pump is 133gpm and he said the filter was good for up to 75gpm, but it worked for almost 2 years. Regardless, I purchased a new cartridge filter rated for 150gpm. Skimmer is 1.5" PVC to pump. Pump is 2" PVC to filter. Filter out is 2" initially with a 90° out to 2" and then reduced to 1.5" to pool return jet. Pool is 24' round above ground. All PVC joints were sanded, purple primed and blue glued. Four times now I have turned on the pump and get less than 5 minutes until one of the PVC connections between the filter and pool (2" to 1.5" reduction) come apart. Only difference from the previous setup that worked for two years is the pump to filter PVC run used to be 1.5" and is now all 2". All suggestions? My pool guy actually told me it was too hot for him to come out and do this.
