Hook up and return lines for a doughboy silica II filter?

The connection on top is from the filter inlet (discharge of the pump). The connection on the opposite side of this one is the filter outlet back to the pool. The connection below the filter inlet is for backwashing the filter.


With a Doughboy Silica II filter why when vacuuming after a few minutes would the pool pump appear to be running but no water is coming from the jet and it no longer has suction on the vacuum hose?

The filter is simply clogging with the junk you are picking up. Somewhere there should be an instruction to set the Silica II to "To Waste" when vacuuming. Your alternative is to keep flushing the filter every few minutes, which will use just as much water and take much more time. This process will lower the water level of the pool, however, so you should have it really full to begin with and be ready to replace the water discharged.


How do you add the DE powder using only the Doughboy PowerPak and DE Filter?

I"m not sure what a Doughboy is, I'll take a stab that it is a filter system. I have added DE through the pump intake. I put a little at a time in a bucket and dilute it then pour it into the skimmer. As the water flows through the filter, the DE powder adheres to the 'fingers' that hang down in my filter allowing the filter to filet out more minute particles than the clothe 'fingers' alone.. Some also use DE powder in conjunction with sand filtration to improve filtration. I think it causes backwashing more often, then the DE powder ends up in the yard or wherever the backwash goes. Good Luck

Should a fuel pump be placed before the filter or after the filter?

Only a larger filter (100 micron) should be placed before the pump or suction side. A smaller finer filter should go between the pump and the carb. Too small of a filter before the pump can lead to inadequate fuel flow rate to the pump.
