    Filter pressure too high even after manually cleaning grids.

    What are you using to test your water with? And can you post those results?

    SWG turned off?

    Agree with WIREFORM pollen...we all here in Florida are in in the heavy pollen season , I suggest using those food handlers hair nets in your skimmer to catch that pollen before the filter. But check your chemistry as others have advise.

    Pool Reno: last minute decisions

    IMO, the smaller the opening the more you can control the water flow for the "water falling sound" that you're looking for with return valve positions.

    Ouch, that seem HIGH . WE are able to purchase the Taylor 2006C kit for $125.00 US /115.00Euros ( I hope my conversion is correct) and includes shipping from Amazon. Good luck and hopefully another TFP teammate will come along with a less expensive solution.
