Can I just say what a relief to find someone that actually knows what they are talking
about on the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light
and make it important. More people should read this and understand this side of the story.
I was surprised that you are not more popular given that you definitely have
the gift.

I have a sand filter and accidently hooked my pump side hose to the return port and the return hose to the inlet. I fixed the hose issue, now I have very little flow when I try to backwash, and there is no debris coming out either. Did I screw up the laterals?

Thank you for your clear and simple instructions. I was a tiny perplexed on how tight the lid needed to come down on the bottom of my Hayward Clear DE filter, but ring secures it, it looks good and works perfectly. Thanks so much!

In regards to “Cleaning a Hayward Cartridge Filter”, it would not be very easy that someone should be expected to clean the cartridge every other day, much less every day. If you don’t know the proper steps without right tools, it would get difficult task. Sometimes it’s more cost effective way to hire a professional rather than do it yourself on things, but it all comes down to the owner’s choice.

My Hayward cartridge filter tank leaks, apparently at the seams in the top of the tank, when the pressure goes up about 10-15#. I have replaced the cover and the O-ring, but gives minimal solution. Do I need a new tank??

First, what model filter and cartridge? It does sound though, like the faever and the johnson rod are binding and restricting flow. Free the faever and the johnson rod should activate and flow should be fine.

Hello
I’ve been reading a bunch of posts replied by Joseph. I am at a loss here, The pool filter pressure is running high, causing no flow. I read everywhere the filter may need to be cleaned. Everything looked clean, but I still soaked it in Muriatic acid & water mix. When I put everything back together, there was no change in pressure. Any ideas of what I could possibly do next or what else the problem could be?
