I assume from your last post that the PSI back presssure was not sufficient to close the selenoid until you replaced your filters. Glad you worked it out.

You summed it prefectly.

I think I figured out the reason I never had this problem before. The prefilters I'm now using are 1 micron, I think what ever I was using before was something higher like 10 micron. These 1 micron blocks clog up alot quicker.
