Problems with new plumbing

[adl6009]

Nice picture. you did all that yourself? I think you are getting zero pressure because you still have the multport set to recirculate. First, turn the filter off, never change the multiport setting with the filter on. Then set it to filter. You will have to bleed the air out of the filter with the valve under the gauge. Leave it open until water comes out, and don't stand in front of the opening, unless you have your bathing suit on.

I can take very little credit for the plumbing myself. My job was to put the purple PVC primer on the pieces. My husband did the rest!

We just got a replacement gauge from Pentair today and now the filter is showing pressure. We must have just gotten a bum gauge.

PS: We put a clear flexible plastic tube on the pressure release so that we wouldn't spay ourselves and the inside of our future shed. It channels the air and water under the deck. :-)
