If you have live algae in your pool -- your DE filter will stop up completely, regardless of pressure. I've seen DE filters go from full flow to no flow in 15 minutes.
You have to kill the algae FIRST.

How do I kill the algae if I can't keep the water circulating longer than 1 hr?

Re: Water not circulating -- DE filter stops up.
Are you able to bypass the filter, ie set it to recirculate or something like that?

I will give this a try. Thanks

Just pour bleach in! If you have a bucket, and can pre-mix it with some pool water that's best, but it will be OK even if you can't.
You don't have to circulate it to use bleach. But if you DO have a filter valve with a recirculate position, that's even better.
