Your pool pressure gauge is over 30 psi?
Clean the Filter!
How much air pressure equals 120 psi of water?
Pressure doesn't change when you change substance, 120 PSI in water equals 120 PSI in air.
If you have 12000 gallon tank what shoild psi be around?
what should your psi be around in a inground swimming pool andt it hold 12,000 gallons of water
Do you vacuum on filter or backwash?
Typically you only need to backwash when your filter's PSI is double its starting PSI level. For example, mine starting PSI is between 7 and 12, so when it gets to between 15 and 20 PSI I'll backwash.
What should the PSI be for a 40x20ft. inground pool be?
That depends on filter, pump and plumbing size. What else is plumbed into the system. Does it have a pool cleaner attached and how? All this is called or is referred to as the amount of head. Ken
How much pressure is exerted on the lower edge of a 12 foot by 24 foot by 4 foot deep pool?
about 2 psi. (0.5 psi / foot of depth)
Your pool pump was running 12 psi now it only runs at 5 psi what is the problem?
you have to backwash your pooluntil it starts coming out clear at the end of the backwash hose about 3-4 miuntes
Can the psi on my pool pump be too low?
The psi on your pool pump indicates how much dirt there is in the filter, the cleaner the filter the lower the psi. normally when the filter is clean you wil have a low psi and as the filter gets dirtier it will rise. However if the psi suddenly becomes much lower then usual it may indicate a fault in the filtration is letting unfiltered water circulate back into the pool as in a torn filter cartridge.
What is the head loss of a 3 inch column of water at 60 psi and 60 feet?
For water, a 60 ft vertical change is equivalent to about 26 psi change. So if the pressure is 60psi at the bottom, it will be 34 psi at the top. See related link.
How often should I clean my pool?
The cleaning schedules varies from filter to filter, but a general guideline on any swimming pool filter is to take a reading when the filter is clean, then clean the pool filter when the pressure rises about 10 psi.
What should the pressure gauge read during backwashing a pool filter?
Around 10 PSI if you have a 2 horsepower pump. It will vary, depending on the restrictions in the exit line. Pool Masters
How do I know how often should I change my pool filters?
The frequency of changing or cleaning your pool filters will depend on the kind you have. If you have the variety that uses sand, you should have it cleaned once a year, any more frequently and the filter may not work effectively. If you have a cartridge style with an indicator then a marking of 8 to 10 PSI is when it should be replaced.
