pool dirty after filter is run

by n furman » Fri 21 Aug, 2009 15:01

First post

after I run filter my pool is more dirty with black puffs along the bottom

Last post

Need to know what kind of filter. Sand is probably broken lateral. DE, check the grids and the lines. Cartridge, maybe a tear or they are dirty.
