And even bigger, this design has been around for a long time, no? Has anyone else had this issue with this filter?

It was this way upon opening this year, so I keep having the nagging thought that something didn't drain and had ice inside it over the winter.
I got up this morning and tried it with the eyeballs removed from the returns, thinking this might make the pressure differential across the filter greater and make the problem worse. It may have started a little more quickly, but not so much as to give any information.

Still hate to say it but you can always replace the rest of the filter. But imagine the pain if it *still* doesnt fix it.

I pushed a wire through the hole and it came out of the bottom of the multiport in the yellow/white basket where the unfiltered water is distributed across the sand. I think the back of the hole is actually visible. Try shining a light into the chamber and looking at the bottom of the valve or pushing a wire through.
