Hello,

I just moved to a new house with a pool. I'm starting up my pool for spring season.
I'm new to pools but youtube and forums are helping me a lot.

When using circulate mode I have a nice flow in the pool, however when I use the filter flow is very low also from the start.
Pressure is 10 PSI and low in green. I have an hayward pump and 7 large sand filter 2/3 filled.

I did backwash and rinse but still the same water in filter seems clean. Baskets are clean.
I'll have to check Empeller

Water is not clean in pool so I expect pressure to increase and flow decrease but not directly from the start.

Can the pump be damaged when the flows stays low for longer period?

Thank you for any help or idea's.
