Check the psi on the filter tank? If its lower than usual there is something stuck in the lines or jammed in the pump impeller. If its higher than normal, it just needs to be cleaned. Also, if you put the multiport handle into the recirculate position, this will bypass the filter. If everything works better in recirculate then you have a filter problem

Can you run a DE filter without DE while the pool cover is still on?
No, The D.E. is used to trap dirt paraticles, all you will do is clog the ropes inside the filter, then you will tear the filter down and soak the ropes with muratic acid for at least 24 hours.And put the filter back together and run it with the D.E.
What could be the cause for your pool whips to stop moving after two hours of filtration when the pressure reads normal on the sand filter?
Clean and empty in ground pool filter, clean and empty filter near pool pump. Be sure all whips are clear of dibris. also do a flush of the system. If this does not help, you will need to have a C02 charge done between the pool line and the pool pump. OR you may need to have your impeller replaced in the pool motor.
What would cause the skimmer basket to lose suction?
A clog in the line. Another way to see if it's a clog is to put your control value to skimmer and then see if water is coming into pool from jet. If it is not being returned pool thru jet it is very definitely a clog in line. Next question should be how to get rid of a clog in line?AnswerI have found that low water level will cause the skimmer not to operate very well or at all. Air in the lines, maybe?? Could also be a bad pump seal, loose fittings in and out of the pump, loose or bad o-ring on the pump lid. Or maybe the timer just shut off. Bad motor?? Would have to see or trouble shoot system to give a quality answer.k
How often should I clean my pool?
The cleaning schedules varies from filter to filter, but a general guideline on any swimming pool filter is to take a reading when the filter is clean, then clean the pool filter when the pressure rises about 10 psi.
