The answer to your question is yes.. You have to add about 80% of the DE that your filter requires when clean.
But.. the real question is why you are having to backwash so much? Sounds to me like you have an algae problem and you are just treating the symptom and not the problem.
What are your test results from your Taylor Kit? How much FC lose do you have overnight?
