Hi,
We recently bought a new house with an in ground pool. Ive been busy trying to get everything set up and believe I have done so correctly. However, one thing I have noticed is that flow rate to the pool and the suction at the skimmer dont really seem to be strong. I cant tell for certain because this is our first season with the pool.
I have noticed two things - If i turn the filter valve to recirculate it seems the flow is much, much stronger. Is this normal? Also the owners manual for the filter states to open the air relieve valve when starting until a steady stream of water comes out. I get a very weak stream here as well. When opened the pressure gauge drops to 0 and backup to a little more than 10 when closed.
Can anyone advise me as to whether or not it working correctly or perhaps to improve flow?
Pool Setup
32x16 Inground
Hayward Microclear Vertical Grid DE Filter
Hayward Pump - Not sure at the moment of the model but I know its rated for 24 Sqr Feet. I believe its from the High-Performance Pump series...
2 feeding lines
4 Return lines, 2 in the stairs, one across from it and one in the deep end.
Anyway,
Thanks
