Pentair Clean & Clear Plus: NOPE

[@dannydee9919]

Maaan, ive just came across your video and have watched it at least 5 times. Youved touched on all my complaints regarding pentair pool filter design. I bought my house in 2011, it came with a 30k gallon pool, first couple of years i paid someone to service it. I eventually bit the bullet and decided to buy equipment so that i can service my own pool. I could not believe the process that was associated with backwashing and maintaining the filter. Im not a pool filtrt engineering but i aint no dummy either, i have a mechanical engineering degreed and have worked as manufacturing engineer for 15 plus years. Of the bat, i was able to identify some improvements in design. I dont believe but i KNOW that a more efficient filter is possible 😊

Seems like it would be soooo easy to make something much simpler, right? Thanks for watching, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Basically that is part of the plan. Pentair wants pool owners to buy a filter every 4-6 years. Which I call bullshit, dropping 1400 every 4 years isn't going to happen, AT ALL

Spot on, there's got to be a better way

Totally agree. These units are the biggest pains in the a$$. Time consuming, cumbersome and the damn tbolt always gets stripped as well as the barrel nut. The main drain for the unit is a pos plastic jobber. Gets all warped first time removed. Great video. My father in law has a Jandy that takes 4 minutes from start to finish.

You are spot on. You would think technology and common sense would've come a lot further along by now, this is like something out of the roaring twenties. Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments!

this was painful to watch...and suggesting Vaseline really...maybe get yourself an impact driver with a 7/8 deep socket....

[@dagwoodstreets]

Vaseline was suggested to me by the pool company technician to keep the rubber ring sealed, IDK if it's effective or not because I didn't try it. Do you have personal experience applying Vaseline to the seal? Thanks for watching & commenting!
