What to do if the STA-RITE CRISTAL-FLO Swimming Pool Filter has low flow?
If your STA-RITE Swimming Pool Filter has low flow, the issue might stem from a few potential causes. Check for a blocked pipe downstream from the filter and remove any obstruction.

If you find sand in the pool, it indicates a broken lateral, requiring you to drain both water and sand out of the tank and replace the lateral.
Why is my STA-RITE Swimming Pool Filter having short cycles between backwashes?
Several factors can cause short cycles between backwashes. It could be due to a flow rate that's too high, or the filter might be too small; consult your dealer for system sizing recommendations. Chemically unbalanced water, excess dirt/dust in the pool, body oil/lotion build-up in the filter, inadequate backwashing, algae in the pool, or a low residual chlorine level can also be causes; consult a pool serviceman or pool professional about proper chemical maintenance. Also, inspect the filter sand for solidification caused by dust, calcium, skin oils, or suntan lotions. If there is excess dirt/dust in the pool, vacuum the pool directly to waste. For body oil/lotion build-up, consult your dealer for chemical filter cleaners and follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. Also, ensure th...
