My pool was opened for the first time Monday, July 3rd with fresh quartz plaster. I've brushed at 3-4 times a day. My DE filter only lasts about 24 hours at the normal 12psi; so far, I've backwashed 3 times due to high pressure. Is this normal or could the grids be clogged this soon?
DE filter pressure frequently high

I'd say normal. DE is very good at filtering, and the fines in a new pool will clog it quickly. Just make sure to add the recommended amount of DE after backwashing.
grivera, if you PSI drops back to normal after a backwash and recoat, the grids are not likely clogged.
