I recently changed from a Hayward Max Flow VS pmp to a Jandy Pro FLow. The change over is another story entirely, which I have yet to post and will not get into that this time. The new Jandy was installed by a certified pool company to maintain the warranty. The flow rate on the Jandy is higher than the Hayward at the same rpm.
Problem-At prime speed 3450 RPM the water level never reaches the top of the pmp skimmer basket, it goes up to within an inch or so of full, however the top edge of the basket is under water. The new plumbing was checked for leaks with no suction leaks found. Pool skimmer is clean, cartridge filter is clean. We suspected a backflow/pressure issue because of the higher flow rate from the Jandy.
The tech removed the filter cartridge and ran the system. As we thought, the basket filled completely.
Two ways to go- One install a larger filter cartridge assy, two just live with it since the water level is above the basket. I don't like either ways to go. Wasn't exspecting to have to spend more money on a new filter system.
So, Iam reaching out to the masses for ideas. My pool is a basic system, 3 return jets, 1 skimmer, no drain or water features.

Just noticed an error in my signature, the filter that I have is a C1200
