Wakkoguy Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 I recently moved into a house with a pool and everything was working fine. However, now the pool cleaner moves VERY slow and the pump psi is around 30. I have a Haywrd system with a cartridge. I have pulled out the cartridge and cleaned. When I clean I very thoroughly the system drops to about 18-20 psi but that only lasts about a day then it goes back to 30psi and moving across the pool bottom slowly. What can I do to get this system running properly? I have taken the cartridge to pinch a penny and they said that the cartridges fine and doesn't need to be replaced. Quote
Pool Clown Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 You can't always tell if an element is still good just by looking at it. Your symptom is telling me your element is done. You may try to chemically clean it first and see if that will give it a bit more life. Is the water clear at this time? Or are you fighting an algae bloom? Quote
Wakkoguy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Posted June 24, 2012 The water is clear (I shock it every other week). Do you think I need to purchase a new one? how much are they? Best place to get them? How often do you have to replace them? Quote
