Problem Filter

[Lenardo]

I am new in this, so sorry if i am in the wrong forum spot.

My question is that does a in ground pool has more then 1 filter, or does it has more.

My other question is that when my pool pump is on, and then when the water goes in and when it comes out, then the dirty come out with the water is like the filter is not stopping it. So what do you think i have to change the main big filter or there are a different filter.

Thank you.

Home inground pools typically just have one pump and filter. What kind of filter do you have? Have you backwashed the filter? What pressure is the gauge on your filter reading? Have you been vacuuming a lot of dirt/dust or is your pool green or anything like that?

I'm not the pump expert so I'm gonna let Al or somebody else help you with this problem. But.............. these pictures are HUGE! Can you please cut them way down in size for us? Thanks.

It looks to me like a sand filter, evidenced by the multiport valve in the second picture. However, unless that model works much differently than mine, the handle appears to be malfunctioning, which could let sand and dirt into the return water. When you push the handle down and move it to another position, does it "click" into place, or does it just stay pushed down when you let go?

It looks like maybe the spring has gone bad, and if so, probably the gasket needs to be replaced as well. What do you hardware experts think?

Thanks for the feed back everybody. (I FIXED THE PICTURES)

The handle I think it works good, b/c when I push it in then the water comes out. It doesn't make a clicking sound but when i push it in and turn it then it makes clicking sounds.

This filter that I have it very old. (I will have pictures of the filter tomorro) What do you think I have to change the filter. The filter that is in side its a little riped from i think being to old.
