Hi and help!!!!
1. I just cleaned my salt cell and filters. Everything is properly seated in the filter.
2. My vacuum and overhead water jets are working and vacuum is running the pool fine.
3. My pump almost primes but not quite to the top.
4. I see my skimmer basket from the pool being sucked down tight.
5. My overflow from the spa is flowing well.
6. My pump basket is clean and I greased the o-ring.
Here is my problem. I turn on my system. I hear the pressure building. At first, the water shot out of my 9 month old new air valve assembly but after a few minutes, it started dribbling water and doesn't give me that loud air sound if I open everything up and reseat it all and start over. I hear the pressure building but not as loud.
I just get water dripping out, not that hard spray that I Ave to cup my hand over.
When I turn it off, my gauge goes back to zero and my pressure is at 20psi when on.
I even took off my pump lid and backwashed through the pool side.
What could be wrong?
I have a Hayward c4025 de filter system.
Thank you

Kind of sounds as though your filter gauge relief valve may be plugged up inside. Have you taken it apart lately and checked? They can develop some gunk overtime. And I have to ask a silly question .... but you mention having the Hayward C4025 de filter? Is that correct? When I see C4025 I think 6-cartridge filter, not DE, so I wanted to ask. Let us know how things turn out.
