I have a EC-45 hayward, that is registering a 5 on the pressure gauge. I recently replaced the pool return with a new one, put on a new hose for the return that is a couple feet longer, and completely cleaned out my filter fingers and all. Before i replaced return i registered a 7 when i had new DE in the pump, and i was never able to push down on the bump because of the pressure. Now that i have done all these changes, i can now push down on my bump like the filter was turned off. Also, i cannot seem to get my water that clean. Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem. Thanks in advance Kevin

At the start of the season, I put everything back together as usual. I turn on the pump and everything is working like it should except that the pressure guage doesn’t register anything. After about 5-10 minutes the return flow back into the pool has almost stopped..I shut the pump off and bump the filter 6-8 times and turn the pump back on. The same thing happens. I have replaced the pump, so it is not the impeller or the pump. I have replaced the pressure guage and it still doesn’t work. I have taken the filter apart 7 times and cleaned every inch of it. I have re-taped each connection with teflon tape and made sure each connection is snug. I have no idea what the problem is. I wish I had a green pool. Mine is more brown than anything and I think I have a family of gators living in it and I live in Ohio. Any idea’s???? I have a Hayward Perflex Extende Filtration D.E. filter with the fingers.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. TANK WAS REPLACED A COUPLE YEARS AGO, SO IT IS A REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY AND IT LOOKS LIKE
I COULD SQUEEZE THE TOP OF IT AND IT WOULD COME OUT AND I COULD SEE WHATS BANGING OR STUCK. CAN IT BE TAKEN OUT
EASILY, CHECKED AND THEN PUT BACK.
PLEASE HELP, THE RATTLING IS DRIVING ME CRAZIER.

THANK YOU,

We have a similar problem – we just opened our in ground pool and started the hayward pump and DE 2420 fiter. We had cleaned up the filter before winterizing.
The pressure builds up after about 7-10 minutes and quickly drops and this cycle repeats till we keep the system on. Could you help us determine the cause and solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Jet

I ahte this filter. My 8 year old Jacuzzi Avalanche filters much better. Why would this happen after following the cleaning procedures and using new DE?

I have been using nylon stockings to filter the water from the discharge line and it has helped. What can I do to keep this from happening?

Hi Phil,

Simple Answer: The gauge is bad and need to be replaced, they are around $7.99 at the local pool store.

Let me know if you need more help,

Joseph

I clean filter annually before putting away. Hayward above ground series with fingers (EC-45 I believe). No pressure records on pressure gauge but I get great pressure back into pool. So, safe to assume just a bad pressure meter or is it possible nothing is really being filtered if pressure reads as 0? Water color is good and I am circulating water, but having difficulty eliminating mustard algae even though I have shocked and keeping chlorine levels good. Thoughts?
