I would add water to pool and vacuum to waste that way you don't get the filter dirty, when ever you do a filter cleaning you should also put the valve in backwash after the pump is off and you start to take it apart, then start up in that mode when done clenaing it and run for a few seconds with water going thru whole system, this will flush the dirt out. Then shut it off and put in filter mode.
