Replaced the Multiport valve and filter top manifold. Fins are filling with water and DE. DE should be on the outside of the fins. What could be wrong. The water is still entering the pool through the jets and leaving through the skimmer and drain. Fins are like big pillows when I open the filter housing.

Front & back, covered in DE, but only half way up. I’ve taken them all out, backwashed tank, etc & get same results. Help!

I replaced my D E filter and I’m having the same issue. Great water pressure at first, then after about 30 minutes greatly reduced water flow.

I changed the earth and it was working fine for about 15 min. Then it had no pressure so I pumped the handle and it was fine for another 10 min. I cleaned the fingers once again put more earth to it and once again the same problem has occurred. Can someone please help.

you may have a problem with phosphate levels. Algae feed on phosphates and help them multiply in great numbers.
