automatic pool cleaner manual image

I got a new Pentair D. E. filter installed last year. Since it's been a year, I had Leslie's Pools come out and clean it. I did not check the pressure before they left. Now, about 3 hours later, it's running at a pressure of just 1-2. Normally it runs at 10-15. Is this normal for after a cleaning? Also, I read the owner's manual online, and it says to soak the elements for 4 hours. Leslie's obviously did not do this. Was I ripped off? Do I need to call them back and have them fix my pool or will it go back to normal after awhile? Thanks for reading and answering.
Answer
Every pool runs at different pressure. But 1-2 is excessively low. I too believe they did something wrong. If they failed to add DE make them clean the filter all over using automatic dish detergent. Oil will permeate the fabric and plug it up in minutes without DE to protect it. The detergent removes the oil. Of course, the gauge could be defective.

Answer
It depends on what kind of vaccuming you want. Automatic or manual. There are several choices for automatic pool sweepers. Some work off the suction side of your filter, and others use the return water for power.
For manual vacuuming, you will need a pole, vacuum hose, and vacuum attachment. There are two types of vacuum attachments, one is for vinyl lined pools(has brushes on it instead of wheels), one is for standard gunnite pools (has wheels on the bottom).
To vacuum manually: First turn on your filter. Attach the vacuum attachment to the pole, then one end of the hose to the attachment. Hold the hose and insert the vacuum head attachment into the water. Let it sink to the bottom, then keep feeding the hose into the water. This will fill the vacuum hose with water. When you get the entire hose filled with water, insert the end into the skimmer hole that sucks water into the filter. Make sure you get a vacuum hose that's long enough to reach all areas of the pool.
