Fns Plus Pool Filter... How To Clean? Also One Other Question...

[renewed]

I have a Pentair FNS Plus system with a tank clamp. How do I loosen the tank clamp and open the top off so I can rinse off the filter cartridges?

Also the water coming out of my pool (recirculation) is very low pressure, sometimes non-existent when running. Could this also be caused by dirty filters and a high filter pressure?

Thanks.

Low pressure should be related to the filter. My FNS just has two tension bolts around the center of the tank - loosent those bolts and you should be fine.

Make sure you release the pressure valve first to get the PSI down - you'll hear it leaving the system and you can easily tell when it's done.

PLEASE be sure to turn off the equipment before removing tensioning band around filter.

yah renewed dont take this wrong but i think you should hire a qualified pool man to clean your filter and watch him do it and take notes if you really want to do it yourself . pool men have been killed by tank lids blowing off and hitting them so i cant recommend a homeowner try it without training

Thanks. The manufacturer emailed me back today with instructions. And yes, I know to relieve pressure in the tank by allowing air to enter and displace the pressure. Thanks for the warning though!

I will report back and tell you if I figured it out and if cleaning the filter helped the pressure. Thanks for the replies.
