I am assuming this is in regards to a DE fileration for a pool. My experience is that you may have a hole in one of the grids. You will need to take out the grids and spray off very well and check for holes. Replace if needed. Also, check top of filer for air screen or vent and see if it missing or has a hole and replace if necessary. One other thing is to make sure the o-ring is in place when you put filter back together on the pipe where they connect. There needs to be a good seal and this does make a difference.

In my experience this will stop DE from getting back into your pool.

How often do you change the pool filter?

You don't have to change the pool filter for years Unless it gets damaged. You do however have to clean the pool filter whenever the presure leading to the filter gets too high. This indicates a dirty filter that is not allowing water to get through effectively.
