My pressure through my sand filter which is now glass media is 18PSI
I'm experiencing fine particles on the pool floor
I used quiet a bit of DE as previously advised starting of with a cup then adding more but the pressure didn't rise and the fine particles seemed to go straight through the filter media when vacuuming, clouding the pool again
I checked inside hoping to see a coating over the glass media but there was nothing
After backwashing I vacuumed to waste OK
My query is, does the initial high pressure force the DE and fine particles through the media and should I try to put a restriction on the flow to the filter
