I did backwash, but it still does not seem to be moving any water. I'm so frustrated right now. I checked the basket on the pump, it did have stuff in it but I removed it and there was no change. I've been messing with this thing half of the day in the rain because I want to conquer it!

I'm thinking of possibly hiring someone to come over and show me how to work everything, but I'm not sure. Also my husband is thinking we should just drain the whole thing and start over, which is not going to help unless we can get the filter straightened out!
