Thanks for the reply.

We have been using the basket liners already to help filter the hair. And our pool system is the Sta Rite S7M120. It's a variable speed pump and we also have a pentair salt chlorinator. I tried to attach the parts breakdown but I was unable. It is the #8 which is the Air Bleed Filter. When we run the filter our chlorinator says low flow only when the filter is going but it is fine when the cleaner is on. The filter is run at 1810 rpm and the cleaner is run at 2500 rpm. In the past when the chlorinator said low flow we thought it ment that the filter needed to be cleaned along with the air bleed filter. We would clean it and it would be fine. For the past few weeks the chlorinator moves to low flow as soon as the cleaner kicks off. So we would just assume that the filters needed to be cleaned. We tested it out and cleaned them and them turned it on and about 5 mins later it said low flow. We have had our filters for about 2 1/2 years and the bands around the filter are coming off. Could that be a sign that they need to be replaced. I have tried to search to see if there is a specific rpm speed for the flow of water with the filter and the cleaner and I have not come across anything. I'm not sure if it is the air bleed line that is causing the low flow we are just assuming.

We just want to figure out what's going on.
Thanks so much for you help.
