Possible causes are:

Pump too large for filter

Torn cartridge

Broken lateral

Insufficient sand in filter


Give us more details about your system and we might be able to give more ideas.

You could always vac to waste rather than back through the filter.

okay it looks like the filter needs to be replaced, the Filter does not sit real tight, i am thinking that a new filter will keep the dirt from coming out of the jets

Please do not double post on the same issue. I partially answered this in another thread of yours.
