have you done a total clean on the filter? over time DE can build up in the bottom of the filter tank and significantly reduce filter are causing high pressures.
see if you can pull the bottom drain plug and remove the lid of the filter (do this on a shady day or in low light conditions) grids do not like sunlight and will shorten their life. rinse out the filter's base with a garden hose.
OR if the pool is dirty it will take time to clean it you will need to continuously flush the filter until pressures drop
May be the filter it's capped or the avaporative panel it's capped too with fine dust. Clean de filter and check tehe avaporative panel an cleaned too. Or, if the a/c it's working with low pressure in sucction side , may be need more refrigerat. Check this, thoe pressure in low side is 65 psi. but if the pressure is lowest than this may have a little leak and need fix it..
you dont need a lot of pressure to backwash just make sure water is clean coming out then rinse for 30 sec then put back on filter do not turn valve while filter is running you will ruin multiport gasket
The only filter on the detergent pickup is usually at the end of the hose you drop into the detergent. To clean the line and syphon attachment only requires a little pressurized air to blow out any debris that may be in the line. Make sure you are using the black, soap tip on the pressure gun when trying to use the detergent syphon system. If you are using any of the high pressure tips there will be too much back pressure in the line for the syphon to work.
Go ahead and pull jet out of carb if your already taking float bowl off. When you take float bowl of carb off mine as well pull the jett out and make sure you can see all the way through the jett with no debris or gunk in it.Just spray with cab cleaner if its really bad you may have to soak it in a small bowl or anything it can soak in. Let it soak for good 12 hrs if it was gunky and didnt wanna just blow out of jett. If jett is completely clogged in the jett i would go ahead and do a carb overhaul ( gaskets, orings, sometimes diaphrams , check settings) while your waiting for jett to finish soaking in deh chemicals. good practice or something fun to have a kids help with. My 11 yr old son can rebuild a dirt bike from just helping me out so i think its a good thing to pass on knowledge the younger generations. I started my little brother at 11 and he can work on anything with a motor never know who your gonna help find their passion.
When the pressure goes up, try this. Pour some muriatic acid in the skimmer. (about 1/2 bottle) Let pump run for a little bit,(long enough for acid to get into filter)then shut off pump for 5 minutes or so. If pressure goes down to where it should be when it's turned back on, it needs to be disassembled and cleaned and then acid washed.
