Possible Causes

Pump not running long enough, Pump speed too low on variable-speed model, Dirty filter, Incorrect valve settings bypassing filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the pump before changing valve positions or opening the filter.

  • Increase run time: Adjust the AstralPool pump schedule to run longer each day, especially during heavy use or hot weather.
  • Optimize speed: On variable-speed models, increase filtration speed to ensure adequate turnover.
  • Verify valve positions: Ensure the multiport valve is set to FILTER, not RECIRCULATE or BYPASS.
  • Clean filter: Backwash or clean the filter to restore performance.
