I have been vacuuming to waste and every time I turn the pump back on it see what appears to be the dust of the algae coming back in thru the jets for a few seconds. How do I keep this from happening?? Seems like all I do is for nothing after that since some is coming right back in!

You can add DE (or equivalent cellulose fiber filter-aid product) to your sand filter to improve its filtration capability. See Adding DE to sand filter (http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php/3742-Adding-DE-to-sand-filter) and For those of you with sand blowing back into the pool (http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php/7857-For-those-of-you-with-sand-blowing-back-into-the-pool....). You can also inspect your sand filter to make sure it isn't channelling from being clumped and you can deep clean your sand filter.
