I have crystal clear pool water, so I can see all of the stuff accumulated on the bottom. It is fine powdery stuff that I cant pick up with my hands. I took out my filter and cleaned it very well then I vacuumed. The stuff I am taking off the pool bottom is shooting straight back into the pool. Now my water is milky. Should I have someone unscrew the drain plug in my filter casing while I vacuum as fast as I can and let the water go into the yard???? I am at my wits end.
please help me

Vacuuming to waste is one way to take care of it.
It is possible for there to be dust so fine it will go straight through the filter, but it is also possible that there is something wrong with your filter that is letting the water go through without getting filtered. I would take the cartridge out and examine it closely for tears.

I had it out just now cleaning it and found nothing at all wrong with it. It was new at the end of the swim season last year. I just don't know what to do besides just vacuuming it into the yard.
We had that same problem and we had a cartridge filter too (size 150) on 20,000 gallons. I thought possibly it was recurring dead algae that wasn't being filtered or vacuumed for some reason. Clarifiers didn't work either.
