Hi,

I've posted on here a couple of times, and you people have helped me (new pool owner) so much, so here's the next question:

My PB came out last Tuesday (5 days ago) to show me how to operate the equipment, test the water, etc. We backwashed the filter, and it was pretty dirty. Normal pressure after backwashing was about 12, and before we backwashed, it was close to 30. Lots of orange dirt came out, but we had been cleaning the pool for several days before that, and half our yard is the same dirt now (right after construction), so I'm not really surprised. However, I was looking at the pressure on the filter yesterday (4 days after BW) and it was back up to 25. We have no trees in the back yard. Have barely had a speck of dirt get in the pool, and have been swimming a couple of times. Does it make sense that the filter would be that dirty that soon? Also, when I was backwashing, I noticed the little viewing bubble (don't know real name) didn't show any dirt this time (first time it showed all the orange dirt that was coming out.

Do you guys think I have a problem? We haven't paid the PB all of his money yet (still chasing a possible leak) so I have some leverage now.
