New pump and filter pressure

[aylad]

Have you checked for an obstruction in the vacuum line?

I can tell you that the 1.5 hp pump is not undersized for your filter--I have a 1 hp pump and 300# filter on my 29K gallon pool, and it works great...

Yeah, something seems to be set up wrong.

I wish I could figure out what is set up wrong. The vacuum hose is new and it did the same thing with the old hose. All gate and ball valves are fully open. The pump strainer basket is clear of any debris.
