Why does dirt come back into the pool?
No filter is designed to have dirt go through the filter and re-enter the swimming pool. As the filter sucks in the water from the skimmer hose it filters the dirt and debris, releasing clean water back through the pool’s return jet. If dirt is making its way back into the pool, try a few remedies.
How can I get dirt out of my Pool?
If your swimming pool has a large amount of dirt try vacuuming it using the pool filter’s “vacuum to waste” setting, if it has one. This bypasses the filter unit, sending the water to the pool’s waste line. Lastly, run your pool’s filter at least 6 to 8 hours daily in order to thoroughly filter the water.
When to backwash the bottom of your pool?
Backwashing is advised to occur only after an increase of 20-25% in PSI from baseline (clean sand)….if you are backwashing too much a sand filter can actually miss some of the tiny stuff. It’s kinda like a K&N filter for cars, they filter better when a little dirty vs new.
Why do I need to vacuum the bottom of my Pool?
Some pool particulate matter can settle at a pool’s bottom, where it’ll need to be filter vacuumed. Unfortunately, a pool filter that’s been backwashed (reversed) prior to vacuuming a pool often puts dirt back into the pool.

Why does my pool filter keep getting clogged with dirt?
If you have to stop half way through and top the pool up then so be it. When vacuuming on the filter setting you may notice a significant loss of suction. If this happens then this is probably because the filter has become clogged with the dirt. In this case you will need to backwash the filter to clear it and regain the suction.
