Hi, Second year in my house, first time with a pool. I was just at the pool store and they told me that i should clean my filter out on startup. (i thought just putting the filter into backwash was fine). Anyway I can not get this filter off. Any suggestions on how to loosen it up. Thanks

I found this manual. Not 100% sure it is for yours but it looks close. I hope it helps:

I am hopeful that it is the same basic idea though................have you looked at your filter to see if the connection ring is the same?
Jacuzzi Earthworks DE Filter EW75, 100, 125, 150 Parts - INYOPools.com, should be a tab to push in to remove ring. You might need another person to help, you might try tapping around the ring to get it started
I have the same filter and it is a bear to get that ring off. I use a rubber hammer and hit the ring to get it moving. Then I move to a regular hammer and hit the metal tabs that stick out from under the ring. There are 4 or 5 of them all around the ring, take a couple taps at all of them. Once you get the ring to move about an inch or two, you should be able to move it by hand. Make sure you are turning the ring the correct direction. It is confusing which way it goes, because you are looking at it from the side, not the top.
Once you get the ring off, open the air bleeder valve and take the top off. The DE grids will just lift out in one piece. Hose that down to get rid of all of the leftover DE.
