    It sounds like your pool is pretty dirty, and the pump performance isn't all that odd if so. If you can, try vacuuming to waste, which will avoid clogging the sand.

    Really not that dirty. I do have a small group of leaves still on the bottom. About 2 feet by 2 feet. But that is about it. Pool is blue and full of small floating particles.

    The fact is, those small floating particles are being filtered out, and dirtying the filter in the process. I would scoop the leaves out.

    Add liquid floc (Down and Out) to your pool then vacuum to waste. Make sure you follow the directions on the bottle and add extra water to the pool if you are vacuuming from the skimmer.
