D.E. filters filter the water down to 1-3 microns, every time the water passes through the filter. Maintain a balanced clear pool and this will reduce incidents of rapid pressure rise. One possibility for a rise is that the filter grids or Flex tubes are clogged with minerals or oils. You should clean your grids once a year, or season, with a degreaser and if needed an acid bath. Minerals and oils embed themselves in the fabric of the filter and reduce the available surface area used for filtering. If too little DE is added during pre-coat, debris and particles will embed in the fabric. Cleaning with a high-pressure hose, NOT A POWER WASHER, may be needed to remove the grids. If cleaning does not work, then replacement is the only option

There are only a handful of reasons DE is leaking into the pool. They vary depending on which DE filter you have. If you own a Vertical Grid, check to see if too much DE was added. There might be a tear in the fabric of the grid, or a crack in the top manifold. Or the problem could be a bad o-ring on the standpipe.

Most likely your heat pump is leaking water because of condensation. To ensure that condensation is the cause of the leak, take a test strip, and test the leaking water for chlorine. If the test strip shows no chlorine present then the leaking water is condensation from the pump and there is no need to be alarmed or do anything more.
