    Is the pool still green? Live algae will clog up a DE filter in a heartbeat!

    The water isn't green anymore but it's still cloudy. Do you think I need to clean those fingers with acid?

    Sounds like you may have a Perflex:

    Read the manual; do what it says. Do NOT clean with acid unless you have first cleaned with detergent. Cleaning with acid first reportedly can 'set' grease and oil, and make it un-removable.
