Pressure on the EC65 is always high
The pressure on the EC65 quickly exceeds more than 10 psi's even after cleaning and recharging. The pool water is cloudy and beginning to show signs of algae in the deeper end even though the water tests as though it is balanced. I think it is a filtering problem. I have cleaned the fingers and recharged the filter and still the pressure is rising from about 13 psi to 28 psi within 3 hours. Does anyone know why the filter does not seem to be filtering well. I believe this is why the water is cloudy and algae is beginning to form. Any answers?

Certainly sounds like a filter problem. Here's a couple of things to try.#1. i don't know how you cleaned the filters but clean them again with a good filter cleaner/degreaser.#2. After a good cleaning, get a bucket large enough to hold the filter fingers in and give them an acid bath. They recommend a 20 to 1 ratio of water to acid (muriatic) but I personally don' think thats strong enough. Use a good amount of acid and let the fingers soak for a good ten or fifteen minutes. (always add acid to water, not water to acid) Rinse and reassemble filter. If that does'nt solve problem, I think it's time to replace filter.
