Is there any chance the filter is clogged? Have you tried cleaning it before putting it back in?

Is there more than one orientation in which the filter element fits?
What I mean to ask is - is there any chance you have it in "backwards"?

Mom2g, I'm with seanb on the cart being clogged. It definately sounds like a high pressure hosing (of the cart) is in order. If you haven't cleaned it before, we will offer advice on how to do it.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I've cleaned the filter with a jet nozzle twice today. I don't know how else to clean it?

How old is your filter? Perhaps its time for a replacement. Life expectantcy on filters with proper care is 3 seasons. A lot of folks have a hard time getting them really clean. Not just the outside of the filter element, but deep within each pleat. It'll take some time.
