Can I run Pentair Pump without cartridge filter?

I think a three way valve might be worth adding.

The filter is clogging with live algae I assume. When I pull it out and wash it off the water is almost completely green. I was leaving for a two week vacation and needed advice.

I pulled the filters out and ran the pump, everything worked just fine. The pump is now running while we are away sans filter and I will have to deal with it when we return. It has become quite the frustrating mess unfortunately.

Don't spend all your cash while on vacation... Sounds like you need to buy a bunch of chlorine when you get back!

Have a great time on your trip! Give a holler if you need help when you return.
