Hi everyone,
I’m a new pool owner and I’ve been spending the past month figuring out how every thing works as I open the pool.
Yesterday, I closed the return valve on the pool and forgot to open it again before turning on the pump. It’s been running for the good part of a day until now (there were little periods it was off as I turned it off when I was backwashing the DE filter). When I realized it was closed, I turned off the pump, opened the valve, and turned it on again. There weren’t any warning signs while the valve was closed. The DE filter pressure stayed at the clean pressure, there weren’t any loud or strange noises from anything, and I didn’t see any leaks by the valves or pump or filter. I’m terrified of what damage this might have caused. What should I be on the lookout for? Is there a good chance I destroyed something here?
thank you so much for your help.
