I’m SLAMing right to get rid of the green swamp I let happen over the winter.
It’s currently in the cloudy blue stage.
But anyway, I’ve noticed my filter is getting worse than ever at clogging up.
And by clogging up, I mean the pressure going back into the pool becomes less and less and within an hour of backwashing the DE, the pool is barely recirculating.
So every couple of hours I go out back, turn it all off, bump the handle, let out the DE, turn it back on, fill up more DE, and set the timer for another couple hours.
Is it time for a new filter? Stronger pump?
