Re: filter/pump problems - pool newbie
Ryan,
Keep the DE Filter bro! The reason the pressure keeps rising is because that 5 micron filtering ability is getting bogged down with that cloud of dead algea in the water. Just clean the filtering elements the best you can and then fire it up. Make sure your adding the DE through the skimmer and not directly into the DE filter before turning it on. Then wait for the pressure rise and repeat. Spend all day Saturday and by the end of it you should have a clean pool.
