Question My pump pressure runs high, I have a DE filter, it has been cleaned, we have backwashed still runs high. Also what does foculant mean?
Answer WHEN DID YOU CHANGE THE DE. LAST? FOCCULANT IS A CHEMICAL THAT ACCUMALATES SMALL PARTICLES THAT MIGHT BE NOT SEEN OR HARD TO FILTER SO IT CAN BE TRAPPED BY YOUR FILTER.ANY TIME I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH CLOUDINESS I DO THIS.MAKE SURE AFTER MAKING SURE CHEMISTRY IS CORRECT AT NIGHT DOUBLE SHOCK THE POOL THROW ALL VACUMING EQUIPMENT IN THE SHALLOW END, RUN FILTER FOR APPROX 3 HOURS. SHUT FILTER OFF, VACUME IN THE AM, ADD FOCCULANT AS DIRECTED ON BOTTLE, VACUME ONCE AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY. LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU.
