We had about 2" of rain yesterday so the pool is very full so today I'm going to vac to waste to get the water level to where it needs to be. I have added DE.

I agree that I backwash often and don't go by the pressure, I feel if it's been a couple of weeks and don't see the pressure rise that I must need to do it anymore. I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm going to wait until the pressure rises 6-8lbs.
