So I just finished taking everything apart and putting it back together. Got the impeller off and there was a little gunk in the spring connected to it so I cleaned it out. Found the hose from the pool to the pump had a leak so I replaced that. I also took the Vari-Flo valve off and cleaned that area out. Put that back together when it was all dry.

It's filtering now but there is still a trickle coming out the backwash connection. I made sure to redo all connections with plumber's tape. Thoughts? Let me know if you still need me to post some photos.
