Keep the faith. There are really no good options or shortcuts. Keep that FC up and keep doing the tedious chores until, like Patrick says.....
1. Your pool water is sparkling
2. Your CC's are .5ppm or less
3. You can hold your FC overnight without losing more than 1ppm.
You are going to be rewarded with a sparkling pool and more money in your pocket.
PS - that filter is a little small for the power of your pump and the size of your pool........I am sure that is adding a bit to the time it's taking. backwash as often as necessary (25% rise in psi).
