Why do I have dirt on the bottom of my Pool?
You can get dirt on the bottom of your pool a number of ways including the wind blowing it in, children throwing it in or if there is a problem with your DE (diatomaceous earth) filter if you have one instead of a sand filter.
Why does my sand filter on my Pool not work?
Pool filters often work poorly because they’re in need of cleaning. If you have a sand filter for your pool you need to make sure that the sand is sharp and freshened up. Use a commercial pool filter cleanser occasionally and backwash your pool filter monthly to free it of any trapped dirt or other particulate matter.
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.
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.
What happens when you put dirt in your swimming 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.

Why is there dirt on bottom of my Intex pool?
The filter that came with your Intex pool isn’t the walmart brand. So unless you’ve changed the filter out for the walmart ones (says distributed by walmart on the package) you’re running a dryer sheet filter. IMO there is NO GOOD solution with only one Intex pump, even with the dotty walmart filter media. It simply isn’t up to the job.
