It looks to me like you still have it flowing in the wrong direction. The inlet should be supplied by the hose that comes from the head and the outlet on the top of the filter head should "t" into the hose that returns to the top of the water pump.

Maybe I should have looked closer, I just saw he had two tees and not full flow any more and thought it was right..

The hose from the top of the housing goes to the pump return, the side hose is/should be the one from the head. If that's how it is you're ok, its kind of hard to tell for sure.

No, if you see both pics, the "T" in the Talyn´s pic (the only one you can see and goes to the water pump to the heather) goes at the top of the base filter and your goes to the side, as I can see.

I wouldn't fix it yet unless you have a new filter to put on. Because it has been flowing backwards for the past several months any sediment that has been collected will be in the center tube of the filter instead of trapped in the pleats. Once you hook it up the right way all that junk will be washed out of the filter and back into the water jacket.
