HELP!!! Dirt coming back in through return

Postby christans » Mon 05 Aug, 2019 09:58

Good morning

I have an above ground 28" pool and have yet to be able to clear the water up this summer. I have replaced the sand filter, pump and Kreepy Krauly and purchased a ton of chemicals but nothing is helping. When I turn on Kreepy, it vacuums up what's on the floor of the pool and shoots any green right back into the pool through the return.
We have had a pool for close to 20 years but this has never happened before.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

What are your numbers

You say you have replaced your pump was it for an identical size or larger.
Was the filter replaced as well with the correct size sand
If you have a lot of green I would be inclined to vacuum manually to waste
