Pressure problems
Lately I've been having filter pressures up to 30psi in a matter of days and even after I backwash 2 or 3 times, the pressure doesn't go below 20psi. It is definitely time to break down the filter and clean it but I can never get down to the 12-13psi range that I want. I wonder if the pump is just too big for the filter or whether the filter should be larger. The pump is about 27' from the main drain(horizontally). The plumbing is 2". I've read a lot lately about 2 speed pumps but don't know what size would be adequate or how you would use the 2nd speed. Thanks for any help and/or opinions. I LOVE this website!!!
