Need new filter

[Watermom]

I actually did read your post yesterday but hesitated to respond because I already shared my opinion with you in regards to a 1.5hp pump in a 13K gallon pool in this thread: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...-loves-my-pool

It could be your spider gasket but I still think as I did before that your pump is probably just too big and forcing debris through the filter. (I have the same size pool as you and I have a full-rated 1/2hp inground pump-- not commercial grade -- and it is plenty big enough. I have a 200# filter.) I hope you find out that it is the spider gasket because that will be a cheap and easy fix for you. Good luck.

I contacted hayward directly and gave them the model number for my pump which is the SP 1593. My 1.5HP is fine for the filter I have surprisingly. They even recommended another type of filter, the S180T which is 150# like the one I have. Mine is just a different brand.
Thought I would just give you that input since it was someone directly from the manufacturer.
Thanks and I'll let you know if it is the multi valve gasket.

Well we changed out the gasket and luckily that was the problem!! Water looks great and nothing is accumulating on the bottom like it used to. Sorry Watermom, didn't mean for you to repeat yourself. I did go back and reread my other post.
Thanks for all your help!

I'm glad that the fix was easy.

Happy swimming!
