First taylor readings

So far all is well but I think I may have to look at my filter/pump setup.

There is very low psi as a general rule. I added some de to my sand filter slowly. Only 1/4 cup, and it bogged the output down. Another time I added some stabilizer for the cya and it bogged it Down bad.

I would say that when this happened you were in the "filter" position. Sounds like your filter is working. Lay off the DE and run the filter. Your psi should slowly rise if your filtering properly.

Both times I had to backwash after a half a day to try to regain some pump filter effectiveness. I don't even know where to bgin on this one and I'm hesitant to call a pool company because who knows how honest they will be.

I would bet the ranch that when that happened, you were in the "waste" position. It shouldn't have took more than a minute of two to regain a good flow and lower psi if that was the "backwash" position.

Hey yeh thx for chiming in. The low psi was found to be from the pump gasket print thing not being on properly. Readjusting it gave great psi and eliminated the bubbles.

The return has a very powerful flow now. But i can't be sure it's on filter and not recirculate.

Let it filter awhile. You could hook up and vacuum. If the bottom is dirty, the psi should rise if you're actually on the filter setting. You could throw in another 1/4 cup of DE to see if the psi bumps up but if the bottom needs to be vacuumed, I'd go with the vacuum test first. If it's on "recirculate", you'll see the dirt going right back in the pool as you vacuum.
