Browse Forums Pools & Spas Re: Pool filter damage 5Jul 12, 2018 9:18 pm So three photos. The one from filter unit to the chlorinator is marked in. See photo 2. Photo 3 is the one connected to pump marked out. If that is the case Im going ballistic. Can they be switched around anyway with no damage???

You obviously need a new cartridge Re: Pool filter damage 7Jul 12, 2018 9:56 pm Thanks. Time to contact the company. Before that. The pool was not level before handover. They got me to empty it so they can level it. Then filled it. Noticed no change. They admitted the lifted the wrong side. So repeat the process. Now this. I've had a gutfull of this incompetence. They are quick to invoice and set demands on payment. Yet they can F-up and I have to accept and move on. Freedom Pools is the company. 🤬🤬🤬 Re: Pool filter damage 8Jul 15, 2018 10:35 pm Update.... sent the photos to freedom pools. They acknowledge housing on wrong but not accepting the filter broken due to the fitting. Taking it now to SPASA (pool authorities). The folds in the pool filter are devoid of particulate matter so how can it be clogged. Re: Pool filter damage 9Jul 16, 2018 8:01 am I have seen a few filters after being plumbed backwards and they are ususally worse than yours . They are designed for pressure on the outside . When pressure is inside it breaks plastic top and bottom and will often push all the pleats in paper out as well . I can’t beleive they are arguing over $100 cartridge Re: Pool filter damage 10Jul 16, 2018 10:31 am Actually its $185. But yes these muppets will do everything to avoid liability. If they only say "yes there is a problem we'll fix it right away". But by trying to deflect blame will only get me more upset. Re: Pool filter damage 11Jul 28, 2018 8:21 am Update. Two weeks ago now they have righted the filter housing, replaced with new filter. And took old one to "investigate". Before the muppet left I showed him the folds how devoid of matter and said. Looks like you've learnt something new after 30 years hey. Far from blocked. Not happy that he reprogrammed my timers and did not say anything. Was running max power each day (10 hours) for 5 days before I noticed it. For winter now I am running 2x3hrs a day on low speed (1100rpm) Water is crystal clear. Mind you the amount of rain has meant a fair bit plumbed into waste. Re: Pool filter damage 12Jul 28, 2018 10:11 am michaelyoni64 Update.

You should run the pump at high speed for about 5 mins on high speed before reverting to low speed . This gets the water rotating and will skim the leaves . Re: Pool filter damage 13Jul 30, 2018 11:59 pm Yes. Its on high speed for 15.mins then reverts to low. Thankyou for your insight with the filter.
