Yesterday I finally was able to spend some time on my new pool.

Full vaccum
Brushed walls
Cleaned filter
Added salt (600 lbs. to start)
Began SWG Programming (clock etc)
Restart pump

After I vacuumed the water seemed to get cloudy.
I am fairly certain this was before I disassembled the filter.
The filter was not loaded with debris, I cleaned it just to get a fresh start.
It is possible that when I get home it will be clear.
Is this normal after a vac?
 
Vacuuming can stir up dust that was on the bottom and cause some temporary cloudiness. If it isn't all better by the time you get home there may be something more complex going on, but odds are it will be all cleared up. That doesn't mean that poolsupplysales is wrong. A damaged filter would always stir up a fair bit of dust when vacuuming. A working filter can still stir up some dust, but not as much and not as likely.
