Each time after backwashing my DE filter, I get a steady stream of DE flowing back into the pool when I am adding new DE to the skimmer (for about 30 seconds). It does this each and every time.

Is the DE supposed to flow back into the pool when coating the filter after backwashing? It only comes out for about 30 seconds or so, but it clouds the water for a couple of days. It isn't a big deal because it always clears up in a couple of days, but forget about swimming in those 2 days because of eye iritation, cloudy water, etc. Any help or experience is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
