In Part 2 of my DE filter troubleshooting series, I’m talking about the pressure side of things — literally. If your filter pressure is running high, this episode’s for you. I break down what high PSI is really telling you, when it’s time to backwash or tear down the filter, and how to properly recharge it with DE powder. I also get into backwash valve problems — from sticky slide valves to internal bypass leaks that throw everything off. If your filter’s under pressure, let’s figure out why.
