Questions:
After you backwash, does the pressure increase?

Did you just start the pool up with the new pump -or- was the pump running,
died, then you did a replacement?

If backwashing does not increase pressure, then there might be a blockage on
the intake.

Too much pump for that size pool. Gonna cost you $$$ extra to run it in
the long run.
