Given Monaco’s thrilling win in Dortmund, to say nothing of the events that surrounded it, one could be forgiven if Lyon’s Europa League quarterfinal against Besiktas slipped the mind. Les Gones have displayed indifferent form in the league of late, failing to win against ten-man Rennes and losing to relegation scrappers Lorient, but their followers will be in a rather more forgiving mood if they can continue their European adventure.

Tonight’s opponents, Besiktas aren’t quite on the level of Roma, but have displayed their potential, albeit in flashes this season. They top the Turkish league, and a win at Napoli in the Champions’ League group stage should serve ample notice of their ability. Discipline has been an issue, as a draw against bottom side Dynamo Kiev would have seen them progress to the knockout stages, but they finished with nine men in a 6-0 loss.

Team News:

It is that discipline which will leave Besiktas slightly blunted in this first leg, as Vincent Aboubakar, formerly of Lorient and the team’s leading scorer in Europe, will miss out after being sent off against Olympiakos in the round of 16. Cenk Tosun, with 17 goals in the league, is no slouch as an alternative to the Porto loanee, though, and also provides a more physical alternative to Aboubakar.

The Cameroonian will be joined on the sidelines by Ricardo Quaresma, the veteran Portuguese winger who has been the creative fulcrum for Senol Günes’ side. Forced off with a back issue against Trabzonspor at the weekend, his place will likely be taken by former Liverpool man Ryan Babel, who arrived from Deportivo La Coruna in January.

In the rest of Günes’ 4-2-3-1, the team picks itself to a large degree. Benfica loanee Anderson Talisca plays off the striker, making up for Tosun’s relative lack of height with a 6′ 3″ frame and pace to burn, while former Barcelona man Adriano will be pushed forward on the left, with Babel, normally deployed on that side, switching flanks. In central midfield, the veteran Atiba Hutchinson and Oguzhan Ozyakup make an assured pairing, rarely joining the attack (1 goal and 1 assist between them in Europe) but providing the attackers a solid base.

In defence, the veteran Serbian centre back Dusko Tosic will likely shift to left back to allow Adriano to play on the wing. Another winter signing, the Croatian youngster Matej Mitrovic, will partner the Brazilian Marcelo in central defence, giving Besiktas a physically imposing, but not especially quick back line. Turkish international Gökhan Gönül will line up at right back, with Fabricio, impressive in his first season in Turkey, getting the start in goal.

Lyon will also enter this match with a handful of absences; Memphis Depay is cup-tied, and Maxime Gonalons is suspended. Jérémy Morel remains a doubt, but is in the matchday squad, with Rafael potentially ready to play at left back if the veteran is unavailable. If Morel does pass fit, Rafael is the favourite to start ahead of Christophe Jallet at right back, with Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa partnering Mouctar Diakhaby in central defence as Emanuel Mammana continues to recover from a thigh strain, having looked off the pace at the weekend. Even with Morel a doubt, the defence was always fairly simple to predict for Bruno Génésio, but how he aligns the rest of the team remains to be seen.

The smart money is on a 4-2-3-1, with Corentin Tolisso lining up alongside youngster Lucas Tousart in midfield, but a 4-3-3 with Tousart at its base and Jordan Ferri or Sergi Darder in central midfield remains a distinct possibility, not least for the freedom it would afford Tolisso.

If Génésio does opt for the 4-3-3, Mathieu Valbuena and Alexandre Lacazette would start, with Nabil Fékir or Maxwel Cornet on the right. In a 4-2-3-1, Fékir would play off Lacazette, with Cornet or possibly Rachid Ghezzal on the right. Mindful of a tricky trip to Bastia on Sunday afternoon, Génésio might be tempted to rest Fékir, but with third place no longer in the realm of possibility, this competition must take priority as Lyon’s potential route to a Champions’ League return.

Danger Men:

Alexandre Lacazette, Olympique Lyonnais

The striker, likely to be named captain in Gonalons’ absence, has a massive opportunity to prove his value as a leader. He was imperious in the home leg against Roma, scoring a stunning goal and working hard to will his team to a 4-2 victory after twice falling behind, suggesting he may be on his way to rebutting claims that he is poor in big matches. A strong performance here will go a long way towards not only burnishing his reputation but also potentially raising his transfer fee, should he, as expected, depart in the summer.

Anderson Talisca, Besiktas

The lanky attacking midfielder doesn’t boast the most eye-popping statistics, with ten goals and five assists in 25 matches, but absent Vincent Aboubakar and Ricardo Quaresma, the Brazilian will have to influence the match if the Turkish side are to have any hope of progressing. He has gained some level of notoriety with his free kick delivery, but he’s no slouch in open play, either, having scored several impressive goals from a mix of headers and long-range efforts.

Prediction: Olympique Lyonnais 2-1 Besiktas JK

If you have a Diatomaceous Earth (DE) pool filter, congratulations. There is no better type of pool filter to have working to keep your water clean and healthy. But D.E. filters require a little more maintenance than sand or cartridge filters. This is due to their more complicated design, with twice the number of internal parts as compared to sand or cartridge. They are also more complicated in operation, requiring the operator to maintain the ‘cake’ of filter powder on the grids, and flush out the grids with a hose at least once per year.

Let’s take a look at some common DE pool filter repairs, all of which you can do yourself, with the help of our pool filter parts.

DE Pool Filter Repairs: Leaks

Leaking Clamp Band

The first DE pool filter repair is one of the most common, a leaking clamp band. Start with a clean and lubed belly band o-ring. Dirty, dry o-rings don’t seal very well. When tightening your clamp band, make sure it’s centered over both tank halves, and tighten the clamp with a socket wrench, until the springs touch. If the clamp band leaks, shut off the pump right away, loosen and reposition the clamp band. Tighten up again, using the handle of the socket wrench, or other heavy tool, to tap the clamp band around the edges, as you tighten. This tapping will help to seat the clamp over the tank halves. If it still leaks, inspect the o-ring and clamp band or filter tank halves for damage.

Leaking Drain Plug

The drain plug for your filter tank should be wrapped 3x with Teflon tape (wrap the threads in a clockwise direction). Some DE filters also have a large o-ring on the drain plug. Using a pool lube will prevent it from dry rotting, and can help in sealing up a leaking drain plug.

Leaking Air Relief

The air bleeder on top of the filter tank (sometimes automatic, sometimes manual), is meant to release air from the tank during start-up. It’s an important safety measure to open it before turning the filter pump back on. If it drips water, there is usually an o-ring that is missing from the air relief stem. If the assembly is cracked around the pressure gauge, this is usually caused by having years of Teflon tape built up on the gauge, expanding and cracking the plastic housing. Super glue can sometimes effectively repair this little crack. Squirt in while open, then unthread the pressure gauge.

Leaking Valve

The filter valve on a DE filter is unique, and different from side mounted sand filter valves. If your valve is leaking, either around the lid, around the handle, or where the pipes come in and out of the valve, there is probably a need for some valve parts (not considered filter parts). Water leaking out of the backwash port while the valve is in the filter position, would indicate a need for a new spider gasket, or piston o-rings, if you have a push-pull slide valve.

DE Leaking from Manifold

In the video, Rob replaces the DE filter manifold on cousin Joe’s Pentair DE pool filter. The manifold had cracked around the air bleeder assembly, probably from running too long at high pressure, or a return side valve could have been closed, causing a water hammer effect to crack the plastic. Manifolds can also crack if the grid assembly falls over hard while it’s out of the filter tank being cleaned. A common cause of DE in the pool is a missing or damaged manifold air bleeder ‘sock’ or ‘screen’, which are used as strainers for the air bleeder on top of the manifold.

DE Leaking from Grids

Over time, DE grids will develop small holes in the fabric, or the stitching on the grids can begin to unravel. A loose grid assembly, with the thru-bolts not fully tightened, or from incorrectly spaced grids, can allow DE powder to bypass through small holes where the grid inserts into the manifold. Chemical damage can burn holes through the fabric, or a severe water hammer effect can crush grids. Grids can also be crushed if you store them in the garage during winter, from an SUV! You can usually find holes in grids by hosing them clean and inspecting thoroughly. DE grids with holes or other damage can be replaced individually, or you can buy the entire grid set.

DE Leaking from Standpipe

Most DE filters have a PVC standpipe, where the manifold connects, and on top of the standpipe is a small o-ring to seal-up the manifold to the standpipe. If this o-ring goes missing or breaks, you can pass small amounts of DE and dirt back into the pool.

DE Passing Through Valve

If DE powder passes through to the pool mainly when you add new DE powder, this could indicate a problem with the gaskets or o-ring inside of your filter valve (Multiport or Slide valve for backwashing), which also means that your filter valve is bypassing some water without being filtered.

DE Around the Main Drain

If you notice DE powder spilling out of your skimmers, or a cloud of powder around the main drain, this means that the filter is back-draining through the pump, and spilling DE powder back into the pool. FInding the air leak on the filter, or installing a check valve will fix this problem, and keep the water in the pump and filter, so it doesn’t drain out through the skimmers or drain.

High Filter Pressure

You’ve backwashed and added new DE powder, but the filter pressure stays high, or it drops only for a few hours. First, check that the pressure gauge is accurate and not stuck. Also confirm that nothing downstream of the filter is causing the high pressure, like a closed valve or a pipe obstruction.

Next, pull out the grid assembly and hose off completely. Reassemble and add the recommended amount of DE for your pool filter, which is usually 1lb of DE for each 5 sq. ft. of filter surface area (a 1 lb. measure for DE powder is the size of a 1 lb coffee can). If you still have the issue, clean the filter grids with a DE filter cleaner, to remove oils and minerals that are clogging the grids.

Your new pool pump is an extremely vital piece of equipment; it is the “heart” of your swimming pool. Just as your heart circulates the blood throughout your body, a pool pump circulates the water throughout your pool.

A pool pump consists of an electric motor and wet end assembly. The motor spins an impeller inside an air tight housing which creates suction, to pull water from the pool, and push it through a filter and back to the pool. Pool water needs to be regularly and fully circulated to stay clean and clear. Without a pool pump circulating your pool water, or a filter to remove contaminants, a swimming pool quickly becomes stagnant and unpleasant.

First, water is drawn from the pool through a hose or pipe called the influent line. The influent line leads into the pump where water is passed through a strainer basket and on to the impeller. The impeller, a rotating turbine that is attached to the electric motor shaft, creates centrifugal force as it spins. This centrifugal force, meaning the outward movement of the water caused by the impellers rotation, is what forces water out through the effluent hose or pipe, leading to the filter.

Inground pools require self-priming pumps as the pump usually sits above water level. Priming refers to the pool pump being able to lift water up vertically, from the pool. Conversely, above ground pool pumps are not self-priming. These types of pumps usually sit below the water line; therefore they rely on gravity to prime. In some cases, on aboveground pools, the pump needs to be located above the waterline. In these types of applications, a self-priming (inground) pool pump should be used.

Is Bigger Better?

American’s have a V-8 mentality; we like big engines. It’s common for pool owners to buy a pump larger than they need, and even some dealers of builders are guilty of being horsepower hogs. Many 2hp pumps have been installed when a 1hp pump could deliver the same flow volume, with greatly reduced energy usage. Larger pumps not only produce larger electrical bills, but having an over-sized pool pump can lead to poor filtration when matched with smaller pool filters.

Luckily, the industry is working its way out of this blind assumption that bigger is better, and sizing pumps accurately has been improving. And now, with the need for efficiency in our energy poor states, Two-Speed pumps have becom more popular and Variable Speed pumps were developed, to provide even greater energy savings. Many states have now mandated that new or replacement pumps over 1 HP must be either two speed or variable speed. California, Arizona, Florida and Texas have such laws already, and by 2021 Variable Speed Pumps will be required in every state in the U.S..

A single speed pump is going to run at one speed (3400 rpm) every time it’s on, until it is off. A two-speed will have the option to run at a high or low speed. A great advantage to these is that when you are vacuuming or skimming, the pump can be running at a high speed and once that is completed you can revert down to the low speed.

Is it Horsepower, or RPM’s?

Larger horsepower pumps “draw more amps” – and that’s what you really pay for on your electric bill, Amperes. If you can reduce the size of the horsepower on a replacement pump, you will definitely see savings. This can be accomplished by using a High Head pump, or a pump that produces more water volume. For instance, a 1hp Whisperflo pump will produce the same flow rate as a 2hp Superpump, at a greatly reduced amperage requirement.

Variable speed pumps are a bit different. They are definitely High Head pumps, but have the ability to control the RPM’s of the motor. But variable speed pumps aren’t sold by horsepower – that’s because they are All horsepower, and they dial in the amount of horses needed, to produce the lowest amount of motor revolutions, to get the job done.

As the chart shows, reducing the speed at which the motor turns, saves an almost equal amount of electricity. Variable speed pumps are configured to your pool’s specific needs, and therefore will offer the most energy savings. Most variable speed pumps offer pre-set speeds, or are fully programmable, allowing you to select the rpm of the motor. Slow the Flow ~ and you reduce the amperage draw or power to run the pump. Speeds can be as low as 400 rpm, to a full 3450 rpm, capable of flow rates equal to a 3hp Whisperflo pump – if needed, for water features or spa jets, for example.

With two speed and variable speed pumps you will see a higher initial investment, but in energy savings alone you can recoup that money in a short time. Payback, in electrical savings, can be in as little as 2 seasons. Variable speed pumps also have the added benefit of being extremely quiet, cool running, and the unique motor design is built for a long-life of outdoor, continuous duty.

If you need to meet the new pool pump law requirements in your state, or just want to save hundreds on your energy bill, look to the full rated, energy efficient Whisperflo pump. Compare the flow charts of your existing pump with the Whisperflo chart (look in the Owner’s Manual), and buy a smaller horsepower. Or, install a 2 speed pump and you can operate high speed for just a few hours per day, then low-speed (1/8hp) for 12-18 hours daily. If you really want to save the most money, and you already are using a big pump, look to the variable speed pumps by Pentair or Hayward.

If you are not looking to improve energy consumption and are satisfied with your pump’s performance, then there is nothing wrong with getting an exact replacement. This option will usually be the easiest installation since you will not have to move plumbing around. Just don’t be tempted to “drop-in a V-8” when it comes time to replace the pump. Bigger is not Better when it comes to pool pumps!
