    I used zeobest also and had no problems. Could be too much media. Could be the pump is too strong for the size of the filter. I think I might have little go in on my first start up but all been well since then. I'm happy with the zeobest product. Hopefullly someone who knows more can help'

    Good Luck

    It is possible that you have a damaged lateral in your filter.

    I don't know if this helps, 'cause I'm a newbie, but when I had switch from sand to zeobrite during spring-opening, I kept getting particles in my pool as well.
    Would vacuum them up & then by next morning the pool bottom would look like a beach.
    Figuring that vacuuming wasn't working well, I converted my Pool Buster to hold a filter sock ( inside of the mesh bag that it comes with) & would remove the particles.( this helped a bit, but still had a lot of debris each day)

    Eventually the pool store that did the opening ( & replacement of filter contents) admitted that they may have messed up putting the filter back together; Aparently there is a "rod" in the filter that must be placed vertically. The rod was askew in my filter & this caused the zeobrite to be continuously dumped into the pool.
    So I guess what I'm saying is:
    check that the filter is completely assembled correctly
