Tabella di base pulita
Annota la coppia reale così un aumento di pressione futuro significhi qualcosa sul tuo pad e non solo per sentito dire.
Condizione Lettura Filtro pulito 12 PSI a 1.800 RPM Scatto servizio +8 a +10 PSI sopra la base

Tabella di base, esempi di funzionamento e indizi del filtro
Un filtro diventa diagnosticabile solo quando conosci la pressione di base pulita, la velocità reale della pompa e la famiglia esatta sul pad.
Indizio del tipo di filtro
I filtri a sabbia, a cartuccia e DE hanno logiche diverse per controlavaggio, pulizia e smontaggio, quindi il manuale deve corrispondere al serbatoio.
Sabbia controlavaggio Cartuccia pulisci e risigilla DE ricarica secondo il manuale
Esempi di funzionamento
Una settimana di polline o caduta di foglie può richiedere più ore di funzionamento di giorno, mentre una settimana calma può funzionare meno a lungo se skimming e limpidezza tengono.
Settimana calma tempo più corto se lo skimming regge Settimana di polline più tempo di giorno Carico forte pulisci o aspira prima, poi reimposta la base
Indizi di guasto
Pressione alta con flusso debole indica una restrizione; pressione normale con acqua torbida indica circolazione o carico.
Pressione alta + flusso basso sospetta restrizione o media sporco Pressione normale + torbida sospetta circolazione, carico o scarsa copertura di ritorno

Filter Pressure Gauge Zones
Clean
Backwash
Danger
Clean
Normal operating range. Record your clean baseline at a known pump speed.
Needs Backwash
Pressure is 8-10 PSI above clean baseline. Time to backwash or clean the filter media.
Danger / Blocked
Pressure is well above normal. Stop the pump and inspect the filter, plumbing, and return path.
Current reading

Visual Guide
Multiport Valve Positions
Filter
Normal filtration. Water flows through filter media.
Backwash
Reverse flow through filter. Flushes debris to waste.
Rinse
Used after backwash to settle media before filtering.
Waste
Bypasses filter. Used for draining or vacuuming debris.
Recirculate
Water bypasses filter. Used for chemical circulation.
Closed
Blocks all flow. Do not run pump in this position.
Visual Guide
Identify Your Filter Type
Sand
- Large round or dome tank
- Side or top-mount valve
- Sand media inside
Cartridge
- Cylindrical tank with clamp band
- Pleated cartridge elements inside
- No backwash port
D.E.
- Manifold with internal grids
- Bump handle or backwash port
- D.E. powder added after backwash
Filtration and Circulation
Cloudy water often starts with flow, filter condition, or dirty media long before it becomes a chemistry emergency.
Use this when
- Cloudy water often starts with flow, filter condition, or dirty media long before it becomes a chemistry emergency.
You'll need
- Clean filter pressure and pump RPM
- Current filter pressure
- Filter type and model family
Stop and escalate if
- Do not open a filter tank, crack a clamp band, or break into a pressure vessel unless the exact manual supports it.
- Do not treat DE-to-sand as universal manufacturer guidance.
FAI QUESTO PER PRIMO
Clean or backwash the filter completely, then record the clean pressure and pump speed. A filter is only diagnosable when you know its clean baseline.
Non fare
- ✕Do not open a filter tank until trapped pressure is fully relieved
- ✕Do not treat sand, cartridge, and DE filters as interchangeable service procedures
- ✕Do not chase chemistry while the valve path is bypassing or starving the filter
- ✕Do not use generic PSI targets instead of your system's clean baseline

Clean filter pressure and pump RPM / Current filter pressure / Filter type and model family
0%0/28 done
1
Document your clean baseline
A filter only becomes diagnosable once you know what normal looks like.
2
Match maintenance to filter type
Sand, cartridge, and DE filters behave differently and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Warnings
- Do not open a filter tank, crack a clamp band, or break into a pressure vessel unless the exact manual supports it.
3
Separate pressure rise, low flow, air, and bypass
The pressure gauge is useful only when you know which side of the system is misbehaving.
4
When cloudy water is mechanical
The filter can only catch what the circulation system presents to it.
5
Stop when the problem is not the filter
If pressure, flow, or clarity points elsewhere, branch before cleaning the same part repeatedly.
6
Using DE carefully
DE can sharpen filtration performance, but it is not a casual powder to throw around.
Warnings
- Do not treat DE-to-sand as universal manufacturer guidance.
7
Circulation tuning
The goal is even circulation and enough filtration time for the conditions, not a fixed daily runtime myth.
Risorse (20)
Manufacturer manuals and model-family index
Use the family index before you assume backwash, cartridge-cleaning, or clamp procedures are interchangeable.
Owner vs pro boundaries
Use the boundary guide when the filter work crosses into pressure-vessel teardown, clamp bands, live electrical, or anything the manual says is service-only.
Manual library
Browse the manual library when you want the source documents rather than chasing vendor links.
Filter service deep dive
Use the deeper filter-service workflow when cartridge sealing, D.E. recharging, sand channeling, or tank teardown is the actual problem.
Vacuuming and waste workflows
Use the cleanup workflow when heavy debris needs to go through the waste line instead of the filter.
Emergency troubleshooting
Use the fault guide when the circulation problem is really a power, pump, or startup failure.
