Hey all
I am using a Hayward SP 711 filter - our pool is a smaller in-ground one
why would my filter put dirt back into the pool? We've not been using the pool all winter, although the filter runs every night and we keep it chlorinated. I just dug out the vacuum and started trying to clean the bottom of dirt. this works until I lose suction and go run backwash and rinse. then when I run the regular filter, dirt just pours out of the jets on the side and in minutes the whole pool is so cloudy it takes days to settle. repeat in two days...I'm slowly going crazy. My dad insists that the sand was replaced within the last 5 years so do i have to tear it apart to find out some other problem? also - we don't have the owners manual and I cant find any schematics on the web and I don't really want to go in blind.
Another thing - my dad removed the pressure gauge because it kept breaking (or getting full of water or something) so I have no idea if the filter is even functioning properly. Should I get a new one?
Which brings me to my next question - are there even parts available for this model?
Thank you in advance!
