7k gallon Intex with SWG, 3 weeks old. Floe through skimmer and output very low, alert came on SWG filter earlier for low flow. Backwashed, turned back on, alert light went off but not even pulling enough suction to dip the wall mount skimmer and output is barely there. All new equip, nothing blocking any pipes, skimmer sock has been changed. I am a newbie and cannot for the life of me figure out wgat this could possibly be.
Pump suddenly losing pressure?

Psi represents restriction. So a drop in pressure would mean no restriction or no flow. What was your starting psi and current?
I have no idea. I am guessing thats the green area on the pressure guage? If so, it has always been in the green but started to barely cross the yellow when this started.
it sounds like it needs another good rinse and backwash again.
Sorry to sound stupid but when you say rinse...to waste? Even when I backwash it's coming out at half the mormal pressure it usually would. I will let it run a bit longer on backwash but can you clarify when you say rinse? Thanks so much!!

You want to alternate between rinse and backwash. This will give you more information.
