nortiva Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 So I finally got everything hooked up and nothing was leaking and I turned my pump on and the pressure guage on the filter shot up and is at maximum load and nothing is happening in the pool, no water is shooting out of the jet filtering or anything. So I tried to backwash the filter for about 5 minutes and then retried the filter and once again the pressure is at maximum capacity. I took apart the entire filter and everything, tried started the filter and backwashing the filter with the valve open and everything but no matter what I do I can't get the pressure down. If anyone has any advice for me please let me know. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny poolguy Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 If your able to backwash no problem,it sounds like a valve isn't opened between the filter and the returns. Or,there are winterizing plugs still in the returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 +1 There's definitely a blockage of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
