Didn't open the sand filter up but I just did the backwash, rinse, backwash, rinse, recirculate and then ended with filtering. Seems to be working right now but we'll see in 20 minutes. Lots of pretty brown water came out when I backwashed so it obviously needed to be done!

Thanks for the replies! I'm still waiting for my testing kit. I'll I hv is strips. Everything says water is ok. I do have the high iron water problem but I literally just received my skimmer two days ago & had the problem before that. When I change my filter to recirculate the water flows fine...

Having a slow moving water problem after filter is pumping well for 15 minutes later. I then backwash, rinse, and then filter again and same thing happens. Have only had my filter system for a week. Did have high iron content in water so I'm guessing all that is filtering through. Check for air...

I don't think my sand filter has a skimmer? I've looked in the manual If I do, where is it?

Here is the picture of my beautiful brown pool and this is the results of the water test the spa place did. The Chlorine is high because I had just shocked.
