    i'll give you better info when i get home at work now. the pressure when its on is at 10 then climbs to 20, if i shut it off it goes back down. i think the manifold with the handle to waste/backwash/rinse is all i have besides switching to skimmers/main drain

    Pressure going quickly from 10 - 20 suggests something is wrong with your filter, and is causing it to clog quickly.

    I'd suggest opening it, and taking a look-see to make sure everything is OK and installed properly.

    ok i replaced the leaky union after the pump basket, not leaks. Still losing pressure after about an hour then barely anything pumping loses primer, but check the video gauge drops when i shut it off. I know i put the new fins correclty inside the filter with new manifold and it all fit together perfectly no spaces tightened down. No leaks on outside just wondering would the oring inside the filter where grid manifold will make it lose pressure? http://youtu.be/fQvR3swDEzQ
