    are you using the bump handle after every few hours? My DE filter usually starts getting a high pressure reading every few hours when dealing with green algae. I then have to bump it and restart it for the pressure to temporarily go down.

    Once most of the algae is gone, I backwash and fill the filter with fresh DE.

    I have a Hayward DE 3620. I don't think it has a bump handle, it has a side monted multiport valve.

    Would vacuuming to waste be beneficial?
