Why is my Intex Krystal Clear SF15220 filter not pumping water or has very slow flow?

Several issues could cause this. Check for clogged inlets or discharge and clear any obstructions in the intake hose. Inspect the intake line for air leaks by tightening hose nuts and checking for damage, and ensure the pool water level is adequate. Clean the pre-filtering basket more often if the pool is excessively dirty. Backwash the filter if the sand media is clogged with dirt. Ensure the nozzle and strainer connections are not reversed; the nozzle should be at the upper position of the pool inlet, and the strainer at the lower position of the pool outlet. If there's crusting or caking on the filtering sand surface, remove about 1' of sand if necessary. Finally, remove any pool vacuuming device attached to the system line.
