When the pump is running I see a bunch of junk in there (dead bugs, leaves, etc). As soon as the pump stops, it all gets sucked back up the pipe. Is there a trick to get this stuff out?
Sounds like you have air trapped in the filter that is compressed and as soon as the pump stops, it expands and forces things back. Try bleeding air out of the filter.
In my case, you turn the pressure meter at the top a quarter turn to open the valve. I had done that after cleaning the filter cartridges but I guess I closed it too early (I closed it once water started coming out).
