High filter pressure in your Pentair Water Filtration System can be resolved by backwashing until the effluent runs clear. If the sand bed is plugged with mineral deposits, chemically clean the filter. Also, check for and open any partially closed valves or remove any obstructions in the return line.
How to make Pentair triton TR 40 pool water cleaner?
To address pool water that isn't sufficiently clean with your Pentair Water Filtration System, ensure your pool chemistry is properly maintained to prevent algae growth. If you backwash too frequently, allow the pressure to build to 10 psi above the clean filter condition before backwashing. Also, verify you're using the correct amount and size of sand. Finally, make sure the system runs long enough to ensure an adequate turnover rate.
Why Pentair triton TR 40 Water Filtration Systems has short cycles?
If you're experiencing short cycles with your Pentair Water Filtration System, backwash until the effluent runs clear. Ensure your pool chemistry is adequate to inhibit algae growth. If the sand bed is plugged, manually remove the top 1" surface of the sand bed, replace it with new sand, and chemically clean the entire sand bed as described in the Chemical Cleaning Procedure. Restrict the flow to the filter's capacity if the flow rate is too high.
What to do if Pentair triton TR 40 Water Filtration Systems return flow to pool diminished?
If you notice diminished return flow and low filter pressure in your Pentair Water Filtration System, start by cleaning the basket in the pump strainer. If there's an obstruction in the pump, disassemble and clean it. Also, check the suction line to the pump: clean the skimmer basket, remove any obstructions in the lines, and ensure all valves in the suction line are open.
Why is Pentair triton TR 40 Water Filtration Systems sand returning to pool?
If sand is returning to the pool from your Pentair Water Filtration System, the under drain lateral may be broken. Replace any broken or damaged laterals to resolve this issue.
Why Pentair triton TR 40 sand loss to waste?
If your Pentair Water Filtration System is losing sand to waste, reduce the backwash flow rate. Ensure you are using the proper sand size. Replace any damaged components if the air strainer is damaged or missing.
How to fix Pentair triton TR 40 Water Filtration Systems leak at closure?
If there's a leak at the closure of your Pentair Water Filtration System, shut off the pump, relieve tank pressure, open the air bleeder, and then properly tighten the closure. If there's dirt or contamination on the sealing surface, clean all sealing surfaces before reassembling the closure. If a part is damaged, replace the damaged o-ring, closure, tank, or any combination of parts as needed.
How to fix Pentair triton TR 40 leak at bulkhead?
To address a leak at the bulkhead of your Pentair Water Filtration System, shut off the pump, relieve tank pressure, and open the air bleeder. Remove the closure and sand to access the leaking bulkhead on specific models (TR40, 50, 60, TR60 ClearPro, 100, 100C, 140, or 140C). Clean all mating surfaces and seals. If a part is damaged, replace the bulkhead assembly, ensuring proper assembly and tightness.
