Here is some Q&A......

Why is DE leaking into the pool?

There are only a handful of reasons DE is leaking into the pool. They vary depending on which DE filter you have.
(a) Vertical Grid:
(1) Too much DE was added.
(2) Tear in the fabric of the Grid
(3) Crack in the top manifold
(4) Bad o-ring on the standpipe (the pipe the DE cluster sits on)
(b) Perflex “Bump” Filter.
(1) Too much DE
(2)Tear in the fabric of the fingers
(3) Bad diaphragm gasket
(4) Cracked tube sheet(s)
(5) Loose or missing tube sheet bolts
(6)Bad o-rings on the bump shaft

Why does my filter run at a high filter pressure and has reduced water flow to the pool?

A dirty filter maybe the problem. When the filter pressure rises 8-10 PSI over the clean starting pressure, it is time to backwash or clean the filter
If there is algae in the pool, it maybe clogging the filter, keeping the pressure high. The filter cannot kill algae. Contact your Authorized Hayward Dealer for proper chemical applications.
If the filter pressure continues to run high with reduced water flow to the pool, the pump may be moving more water than the filter is designed to handle. Check the flow ratings of both the pump and filter to ensure they are sized correctly.
