Hey guys, Happy Early Summer!
I have had my pool open for about a month. No issues. I run my robot 4 to 5 times a week and I put hairnets on the one skimmer I have twice a week.
Yesterday, all of the sudden the water stopped flowing. It was still being sucked into the pump but was not flowing out of the sand filter back into the pool.
I have not been backwashing that much being I catch a lot in my hairnets in the skimmer.
So...I decided to try backwashing...barely any water came out. Then I decided to try and rinse....it paused a bit...and then everything started moving again.
Backwashing, rinsing, filtering...all was/is well now. Was my issue due to NOT backwashing frequently enough ?
