    Thanks everyone. Alright, so I think I'll take apart my filter and clean it for the 5th time this season! Then once that's done I'll add the CYA as you guys instructed. I can't have the circulation stop every night so I really want to take care of that first. I'll also keep vacuuming the hell out of it. If this doesn't make sense let me know. Thanks again everyone!

    If your DE filter is rising in pressure fast then the grids might be fouled and in need of soaking in a good degreaser like TSP or automatic dishwasher detergent.
