I believe the disc is on it.The spring is gone, so the disc is probably also gone.
Look into the outlet to see if the disc is on the rod.
Low water return flow

Ok, if the pump runs well with the chlorinator disconnected and poorly with the chlorinator connected, then that indicates that the return line is probably clogged.
How far is it from the filter to the pool?
You can run a temporary line from the filter to the pool until you can get the line cleared.

I would get rid of the chlorinator and run a temp line until you can get the return fixed.
Ok i will. Thank you for all your help. Its been quite frustrating as most issues are easily solved with a bit of research and or common sense. This has been very time consuming. I thought it may be a clogged return as most all efforts pointed to that.
Do you just run a temp line from filter to over the concrete laying into the pool? Ive never had to go this route before.
So i drained the pool past the return lines and used shop vac to blow through the lines while covering each one seperately. They are both spraying out together. What do you think? Should i fill pool back up? Pot is full and flowing too. So strange

If it is the disc or something like it, it can change the amount of blockage depending on the orientation of the disc.
So, it might be turned one way and then rotate, which can alter the flow.
It might be at the T where the return lines split from one into two.
Hard to tell.

If it is the disc, it might rotate and create a blockage at any time.
Hard to know for sure.
What is the filter pressure at different pump speeds?

Everything is flowing strong. Im thinking of letting it flow all night as this level then after work filling it back up. The pump pot is full and flowing everything seems to be good. Strangest thing.
Filter pressure at full speed was 22 psi as opposed to 30 psi before
