Hey folks, I was going to post this update in my original thread (linked below) but there's a banner at the bottom that recommends creating a new thread since it's over 60 days old. So here I am.

To summarize: I posted about my cartridge filter PSI being at 18 at 2500 RPM when my lowest recorded is 11 and usual PSI is 14-15. It was much colder and I was mainly asking if I could wait until it warms up.
Since then, I have cleaned the filters and unfortunately maybe a week or two after, it returned back to that 18 PSI.
I've noticed this over the years (pool opened in March 2023), that as I clean the filters, I have to start cleaning them more frequently and it becomes harder to keep the PSI low. The research I did a long time go on the forum basically suggested to do an acid bath, however given all the sand (which I detailed in the linked post), I'm not sure if that's the solution that folks would recommend.
At this point I don't feel that cleaning the filters every month or so will be an appropriate solution. What should I do?
Cartridge Filter PSI, Water Level, and Sand Issues
