Low return on water, pressure gauge condensation

[Jenny2022]

Hello,
We have had our above ground pool for three summers now. It for some reason has lost the pull/suck of the water and our water is going cloudy.

The filter (DE) is clean, water level in pool is good. We turn the switch on and the return spits out water into the pool just fine, nice and strong. Then after about an hour, hardly anything at all. The gauge I noticed has condensation in it. There doesnt seem to be any clogs and we are just dumbfounded as to what the issue is. I feel like its a pressure issue but what do I know, and not sure what to do about it.
If you could provide any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Jenny

Welcome to the forum!
Your situation that you have good flow until the pump runs for a while then it slows down points to algae.
Can you post a full set of test results from your own test kit?
I suggest you read through Pool Care Basics - Trouble Free Pool and even look at a few of our videos TFP-TV - Trouble Free Pool

We have had crystal clear water all summer and I have not seen any algae at all. I've attached a picture of water results. Thank you.
