MECH-06
Jandy · CL460 460 sq ft Cartridge Pool Filter with 100 PSI Max Pressure and Easy-Clean Design
The internal manifold (the center pipe assembly that distributes incoming water evenly across the cartridge element and directs filtered water outward) is cracked or broken — water bypasses the cartridge through the crack, resulting in poor filtration despite a clean cartridge; the pool water remains cloudy because unfiltered water is mixing with filtered water inside the tank; diagnosis requires removing the cartridge and visually inspecting the internal manifold for cracks; the manifold is a replaceable component but requires disassembly of the filter internals
