Recommend attn by servicing the element set asap ($150 or less) and determining if it’s due for updating ($500 or less) which is likely.
Otherwise without issue.

Note this pool gets ALOT of debris so a consistent plan to clean the filter is fine but a whole new filter like a Sand Filter = TR-140c installed $2-3k+ would be most ideal and lowest on going cost.
