My SWG requires higher and higher RPMs to prevent "no flow" error

I have a variable speed pump and lately I've had to increase the RPM on my day time schedule or the SWG keeps clicking between, waiting, chlorinating, and no flow over and over. I am currently up to 2900 which is near the max on the pump (cleaning cycle runs at 3450).
The pool and all the equipment are about 14 months old, anyone know the cause for this behavior?
The filter is still showing in the clean range, and I can feel the flow in my returns so I know that there's flow.

Sorry, it's a Jandy Pro Series TruClear

What is your filter pressure when it is clean?
What is the pressure now?

It's 18 PSI now, the clean range goes to 20 on the indicator. I've never cleaned it.
 
So you do not know the clean pressure.
Clean it. And then you will know the clean pressure.

We recommend filter cleaning when the pressure rises 20-25% over the clean pressure. If you are waiting for a 10psi rise, that is WAY too long to wait.
 
Update, I cleaned the filter and it was disgusting. Got a lot of stuff out of it but it's still really gross so will probably order a new cartridge. The "clean" pressure is now at 10 and the swg is working at much lower rpms. Thanks a lot for the quick advice.
