Hey all. I’m having a terrible pool year! This year I cannot get my filter to backwash. Put it on that setting and it just trickles out. Hoses are correct. The impeller is clean. Actually replaced the top part of the filter and still does the same thing. There is good pressure going into the pool. Pool is exceptionally cloudy and dirty on the bottom. Help!

Welcome to TFP! 
Could you share some pics of the equipment pad from different angles please? It helps to see all the lines, valves, etc. Are you sure all winterizing plugs were removed?

Looks like your hoses are backwards. Double check. Suction line should go to top of MPV.
They sure were backwards, oh dear!! working great now! Hopefully it will clear up now! Thank you so much!!
