Problems having pool company finish the job

[Timmy]

That is terrible. Unreal what these guys get away with.

Well, when I got home from work yesterday they were there, large crew. They finished, at 9PM again. I was lucky enough to get the filter going and add some CL. It was so dark I was praying there were no issues with leaks with the filter.

Woke up this morning and noticed very little pressure in the system. I have a feeling the DE clogged up the filter. I usually premix the earth in a 5 gallon bucket before dropping into the skimmer. Since it was dark out I scooped the DE directly into the skimmer.

I bumped the Hayward filter and the pressure at the returns was great, just hope it is that way when I get home, may have to backwash.

Thanks again everyone, and I hope you get your problems resolved quickly with your builders.

I don't think low pressure indicates a clogged filter.. That would drive the pressure up.

I meant low pressure at the return jets. You are correct, the pressure was higher on the gauge at the filter.
