I just opened my pool for the 8th year now. My Hayward filter started right up no issues and I added my DE like I always do. Ran fine for an hour and then I went outside and there was no pressure on the water going into the pool and the Hayward filter was spewing water from the told lid. Pressure on the guage was at like 12psi. Usually runs great when its at 8. I shut it down and bumped it. Worked good for 20 min and did it again. So I just shut it down. I did notice this morning there was some water under where the motor and filter connect. So I def have some dripping but not sure that would cause all that to happen. I cleaned the fingers with a filter cleaner like I always do. Just at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like your pool has algae clogging your filter.
What does your water look like?
What test kit do you use?
