We opened our pool 20x40 in ground and then lost electric to pool had trees taken down a couple of weeks before that and must have broken the line then .It took almost three weeks to fix so pool is a swamp.I have de filter Haywood 75 and new motor.Filter has high pressure but low flow after maybe 10/15 minutes.Gave filter acid bath so it’s clean.Have been working on this for 2 or 3 weeks now have changed de and cleaned filter 5 or 6 times already.
 
Welcome to TFP.

Please create your signature with details of your pool and equipment. Knowing the details will hep us help you with more specific advice.

Your DE filter is probably clogging up rapidly from the algae. Do you have an MPV with a RECIRCULATE setting?

What test kit do you have?

You need to follow our SLAM Process which requires a good test kit like the TF-100 Test Kit ™ or Taylor K-2006C.

I suggest you read ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry
