I agree with Steve about your filter cleaning regimen. Not backwashing for 6 weeks is too long to wait - especially the first time.Quite possibly, there is more gunk in your filter than can be removed with your single backwash routine. I have had customers who claim to have really clean pressurized filters. After I remove the head and show them how much crud is really trapped in there, they are amazed. I would suggest at least weekly or twice a week backwashing and let it run for at least 3 -5 cycles of backwash/rinse before declaring your filter CLEAN!
