Backwash issue

[consoleman]

So, last evening i backwashed and opened my filter. I hosed it down to get all the built up DE off.
I then lubed and closed it and set it on backwash 2 more times and a rinse cycle after.
I added 1 scoop of DE in the skimmer while looking for any DE coming out of the return lines. I saw none.
Next thing I know the pool looks very cloudy. I dont know where all that DE came from. I continued to add scoops to verify where they were coming from. I never found out.

What should i do now? open the filter and look for tears in the blades/wings? replace them?

Opening the filter is the next step. It's likely that you didn't get one of the grids back in the manifold correctly. Also check them closely for tears while they're out. Once you have it all back together just vacuum the DE in the pool to the filter.

When I opened the filter I did not remove any grids. I only hosed them down from while they were in place

I also dont understand why my pressure only went down 2 psi.

You could have knocked one loose when replacing the lid.

Check the O-ring on the stand pipe.

So 5 out of 8 grids had tears. Im going to replace all the grids and the oring you mentioned. The pool has a lot of de in it. If I brush it, it will stay cloudy for hours.

So I was planning on doing a 100 percent de charge since the filters are new. Should I vacuum the de that settled on the bottom of the pool o4 run the pump 24/7. Wont both solution add extra de to the filter?

You could vacuum to waste or maybe do not add the full DE amount.
