Why is my Waterco Water Filtration System water not clear?
- C
  Christopher Kennedy Jr.Jul 28, 2025
  Several factors can cause unclear water in your Waterco Water Filtration System: insufficient filtration time, heavy bathing or dirt load (requiring flocculation and vacuuming directly to waste), a dirty filter (needing a thorough backwash), air leaking on the suction line, blocked pump impeller vanes, insufficient water supply, an unprimed pump, incorrect water chemistry, excessive water flow forcing debris through the filter bed, restrictions from inline equipment (test by operating the filter on recirculate), or clogged filter media (perform a thorough backwash or regeneration).

  Short filtration cycles in Waterco Water Filtration Systems can be caused by algae or scale buildup, water chemistry issues, excessive water flow, a filter blocked by calcium, or an ineffective backwash. Cleaning the filter media or performing a thorough backwash might resolve the issue.

Why is filter media returning to my swimming pool/spa from Waterco Water Filtration System?
- C
  Christopher EricksonAug 6, 2025
  Filter media returning to your pool or spa from a Waterco Water Filtration System can occur if the filter is on recirculate, if the under-drain laterals are damaged, if there are damaged or incorrect connections to the Multiport Valve, or if the filter media is the incorrect size or grade. First, verify that the media is actually filter media and not from another source.

  High pressure on start-up in Waterco Water Filtration Systems can be caused by a small eyeball fitting in the pool or spa, a partially closed valve on the return line, or a pump that is too large for the filter.

  Julian StaffordAug 21, 2025
  Operating the Multiport Valve with excessive force on your Waterco Water Filtration System is often due to scoring or jamming caused by foreign matter or debris. If rinsing doesn't resolve the issue, disassemble the valve to clear any dirt and debris.
