Calling all pool experts...

Well I'm still fighting the good fight lol...

On Friday I took apart the Hayward filter system, washed all the DE off the filters, and inspected everything very carefully. I didn't see any cracks, tears, splits, or anything that would indicate leaking.

With DE, I then ran the filter and vacuumed up the pool. I then backwashed the filters and let the pump run for a few hours. Vacuumed again, backwashed again. I did it for a third time as well.

Pool is pretty clear. I do notice that I'm getting air in the system. My return jets have a constant bubble stream in it. I just looked that up on youtube and am going to try to figure that out, but I'm thinking its the strainer pot lid seal.

Then I can work on figuring out the DE in the pool issue. I still haven't added any DE back into the filter yet.
