Waterfall Issue

Postby Mbornhorst23 » Mon 15 Mar, 2021 14:25

Hi everyone. I am having an issue with the waterfall feature in our pool. it worked fine for years, now all of a sudden when I switch the valve from pool return to waterfall, the psi on my water filter jumps from 10 to 25 and I get very little pressure from the waterfall. I have checked and cleaned out the slot where the water comes out and can confirm it is not blocked. I’m not sure what to do next. Please help. Thanks.

Check the diverter valve and try blowing out the line with a shop vac.
If there is a suitable hole open at each end without something living inside it has to work. 25psi should clear it, try a hose down the line.
