Problem Filter

Thanks for the reply.

I think I will just buy a new filter because my old one is just riped and the plastic is broken in some few spots, but if the things still come out then you think i should replace the multi valve.

IMHO, if you replace your filter, you should replace your multivalve with it.

If the grids are damaged, that will allow debris to bypass the filter (much like you describe). You can get replacement grids easily enough, but if you want a new filter - it's your pool and your choice.

However you handle this, we'll be here to proffer our best advice to enable you to have a pool that is easy and less expensive to maintain :cool:

(Jan, it's always my pleasure to be able to educate pool owners ;) )

[edit] Carl, the company I work for installs 3 'low returns' on every new pool and 'rehab'. The reason we do it is to more efficiently heat the pool and distribute the chlorine (usually from a SWCG)

Thanks for everyones help.
