As I posted earlier, the pressure seems to be a bit high which means that there is more head loss in the return plumbing than would normally be expected for that setup. It could be the filter or anything after the filter.

mas,
Would you recommend him tapping into the system in a few different points to determine where the back pressure is? Maybe one between the filter and heater and then one after the heater.

That is a bit invasive and could cause other issues. However, a picture of the pad equipment might be useful to narrow it down some. Check valves, filters and backwash valves have all been know to cause problems with high pressure. Not to mention an incorrect valve setting.
