DE Filter Problem

[Pcrider]

What would cause a DE filter to quickly lose suction power? Normal right after regenerating/pumping as well as right after adding new DE then loses suction. Pump seems to be working fine. Any thoughts??? It always works perfectly.

If you have cloudy and/or green water, that'll do it. DE filters filter really good, which can be a curse when the water is really dirty.

What’s the fix? Just keep bumping it? We are cloudy and green

Unfortunately, yes. Bump every ten minutes, replace DE every hour or so when a bump only lasts 2 or 3 minutes.
Probably want to open it up and thoroughly wash the fingers after the pool is clear.

I hope you are performing the SLAM Process as written, so as to speed things up as much as possible.
