2 Items Yellowing At Water Line in Steps Area and Sand discharging into Pool

Thanks for the quick reply!

1. It only seems to spit out when turning the filter back on. I usually only rinse for less than a minute. As for air bubbles not too sure.

2. U were right about the bellowing, coming out with some elbow grease and a brush.

If your pool is new, your filter is new too, meaning that your sand is new. New sand needs to be backwashed a lot, I mean a lot! It also will send very fine particles of sand back into the water (it happened to me). When you turn the filter off overnight, let the particles fall to the bottom. Then vacuum to waste, or the fine particles will just come back in. You can also put a skimmer sock on (or an old stocking) to catch the fine particles. As for the stains on the steps, you can also use a magic eraser. Let us know how you make out - and if you have any other questions.
