DE Filter Problem

[booneyhead]

Also, tell us what type and horse power pump you have and how you are measuring the D.E. My thinking is if it is not as Dave S. suspects, the problem could be a: you could be overpowered and/or b: you could have too much D.E. in there.

It should be the right pump for the filter since we bought the filter and the pump in a set from Hayward
Perflex Extended Cycle Filteration System EC40C90 Series + Power-Flo Matrix Pump Series
The pump sticker reads
HP 1.0
SF 1.00
RPM 3450

We put 3 little Lipton ice tea cans 1.3 pounds (not all the way full) of the powder in the pump. Is that too much?

I am just surprised that we would have to open the pump and clean it with the acid since we just had it since May. We did have a bad algea problem after we were gone for a week and we had nobody to run the pump for us, but the pump needed to be bumped before that all the time already....

Waste, I am sorry about your dog!


Thanks for your help everybody!
