The spider gasket in your valve may be deteriorated. Buy a spider gasket and some silicon grease at your pool store. Remove the screws in the multi-port valve and replace the spider gasket after you thorough cover it wth grease.
To keep this from happening again, never add chlorine through your skimmer. Always use a floater if you use tablets or install an off-line chlorinator as far away from the filter as possible. Hatawa
Broken back wash valve part in a sand filter. Replace valve assy. Torn or damaged grids in a
D. E. filter. Remove, clean and replace in the latter. Broken latterals in a sand filter - remove and replace. Unfortunately with a sand filter you have to remove all the sand first. Be sure that when you replace the #20 silica sand - you cover the stand pipe in the center of the filter other wise you are going to get a lot of sand blosing back to the pool for a while.kk

Backwashing is done to clean the filter media in sand and DE systems. Cartridge filter systems don't have a "backwash" provision. You just remove the cartridges and wash off the dirt and debris with a hose.
Filter out debris from the fuel.
One of two possible issues... Remove the exsisting filter, check that it's rubber sealing ring is still attached to the cartridge. Then use a flash light and a small pick, and check to confirm that a previous cartridge gasket is not become embedded in the machined seating ring of the mount. If so, remove the old gasket, and reseat filter. A second possibility is that the threaded cartridge mount is damaged, and is not alllowing the cartridge to seat fully against the machined ring.
Replacement filter cartridges can vary in price depending on the filter that the cartridge is inserted to. In general, a replacement filter costs about 40 dollars.
You need to put the new cartridge in the container!! Just kidding it sounds like you may have either a by-pass valve open or your cartridge is not properly aligned or is the wrong one.
Cartridge and DE filters are the most prone to what is commonly referred to as "short cycling". This is when you clean the filter and the pressure goes back up right away. Over time, debris gets entrapped in the fabric cartridge element or DE grid material and it can not be removed by backwashing or cleaning. You can try a filter cleanser but it would be best if you replaced them.
The psi on your pool pump indicates how much dirt there is in the filter, the cleaner the filter the lower the psi. normally when the filter is clean you wil have a low psi and as the filter gets dirtier it will rise. However if the psi suddenly becomes much lower then usual it may indicate a fault in the filtration is letting unfiltered water circulate back into the pool as in a torn filter cartridge.
Cartridge is not installed correctly or you have a crack in the manifold allowing dirty water to pass by the filter.
