Ok I just backwashed out my filter yesterday. After I backwashed my filter I then added the new DE to the filter. I backwashed a few times and finally all I saw was clear water. The pressure went down to around 8-10 from around 18 or so. So I come home today there is still better pressure than was prior to backwash, but not as good as it was. Also the pressure has moved up to about 15 or so, which seems like a pretty quick move in pressure upwards. Now the return jets are putting out pressure but not as much, but more than prior to the backwash. Is there a possiblity that the filter could have already gotten dirty again, as this afternoon I can clearly see to the bottom even in the deep end and prior to that I could not, or maybe I added to much DE. Should I maybe backwash again and see if that helps or take it apart and manually clean it?
If I need to take it apart, how hard is this to do and put back. This would be my first time.
