ed3120 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm a new pool owner with a 30x15x4' semi inground pool with a Hayward Super Pump and a Hayward XStream CCX1500RE Filter . I have a eyeball kind of thing screwed into my return inlet. When it is left in, my pressure at my filter is 22 PSI after a brand new paper cartridge. If I unscrew the eyeball, my PSI drops to 17 PSI at the filter. One advantage of the eyeball is that by pushing it out a smaller diameter, it pressurizes the stream so it reaches across the long pool to move the water better. Should I leave the eyeball in or take it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePoolCompany Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Leave it in - you need that return fps for effective circulation. 22psi isn't that high, you're alright there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
