I'm not talking about the skimmer filter ... about the main one.
I'm constantly backwashing, it's the only way to keep some kind of vacuum going. I thought the elements were getting old, so I got new ones and they got clogged up withing days.
As far as I understand you're supposed to dump that really fine crushed shell into the skimmer on a regular basis, however that just seems to make it worse.
