I am getting DE in the pool. Have a Hayward 6020 filter. Started getting DE settling in the pool about a month ago. So far I have replaced all grids, replaced the top grid manifold, replaced the pipe O-ring that slides into the top manifold. Rebuilt the multi-port valve (all new O-rings and gasket). Liberally applied lube to all seals when installing them. Charged the filter with 7 lbs of DE. I don't think I have a suction side leak because there are no air bubbles in the pump strainer housing after its shut off for hours and no air to purge at the top of the filter when the pump starts.
I don't know what to address at this point. Does anyone have any advice?

- My Pool: 44,000 gallon pool, pet air pump, vynil liner. My problem is I keep losing prime o we might. All I’ve read indicates air leak on intake side. I have used shaving cream method to detect leaks, but find nothing. Because air is getting in to system my pressure gauge goes thru the roof.
