Dasburb Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 My Purex Triton DE filter is passing, and I can't figure out why. The grids look good, the baffles look good, I replaced the O rings in the backflush valve, and still it is not filtering. Any advice?

Try looking at your bypass valves that divert your water flow to your spa/pool. I had a similar problem and replaced the valve with no more DE. On mine, the top has about 6-8 screws that you undo then pull of the whole valve then put your new one in its place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPOOLIQ Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Have you checked the oring on the stand pipe that the grid unit sits on. If it is missing that might allow de to pass through the system.......However you need to identify if de is going through the filter because of a problem w/the filter or is a return leak causing de to back up into your pump and suction manifold when the system is off? Several ways to test. Let me know if you want a rundown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
