Getting filter pump back to green zone?

It seems our Intex Krystal Clear is forever hovering just into the yellow and I just can't seem to get it to come back down into the green zone. I haven't paid close enough attention to see just where it "used to sit" in the green but notice the flow really diminish on the return so I flush it, the flow improves but the gauge is still just in the yellow. I'm certain I'm giving it well over 2 minutes when I backwash and then a good solid minute when I rinse and the water and sight glass are perfectly clear. Am I mistaken and maybe just in the yellow is ok?

We had a freshly mowed lawn one fateful day about 6 weeks ago and kids were in and out without rinsing the grass from their feet. It was a disaster! I'm now two flushed beyond that and it feels like especially after flush #2 we should be cleared right up?
