    Default High Pressure

    Hello, my DE filter typically shows about 11 PSI after a back wash. I back wash when it reaches 18PSI..

    At this point after a backwash it will read about 11PSI but then spike up to 20PSI within a couple days.

    I've pulled the filter apart and cleaned the grids but that did not have any impact on the situation.

    Is there other areas I need to look at?

    Live algae will clog a filter like nobody's business. Do you have a nonzero combined chlorine reading?
