I havent seen a thread on this topic so I thought I would ask.
My hayward EC45 blows dirty water into the pool right after I bump it.
The filter is a bit undersized for my pool (30' ag). Is one of the fingers bad or
is this a normal occurance? Everything else is great thanks to your help.
Update on my situation. I took my filter apart to inspect the gaskets and fingers. I could not find a torn or broken finger, and all of the gaskets and plates appear to be in great shape. There was a ton of bright green DE at the bottom of the housing so I removed all of that. I reassembled everything and still have the same problem. Is there a way to check for a bad finger other than just visually? I looked down into each one to see if there was any residue that was more than any others, and they were all very clean.
I have asked some friends with pools and they tell me there shouldnt be any dirty water from the returns after bumping. Mine blows green for about ten seconds and its sad to watch all that algea getting back in! My water is clear
and in line with all of the numbers.
Hope to hear from someone so I can put this to rest.
