So here's the deal, I got a new filter (filter details in signature). When I installed the new filter coincidentally my pool pump blew (posted a thread about this a while back). So while I ordered a new pump I placed a shallow well pump (3/4 hp) 9.2 gpm pump as a substitute. This pump was sooo low power that it didn't even register PSI on my filter gauge. It took around a week until the pump came in, but I noticed my pool water was crystal clear. I mean so clear you could spot some imperfections within the liner.
I then got my motor (1hp 60gpm) and installed this. Right when I powered the pump up I noticed a cloudy mess shot out from the discharge line. It was like a cloudy discharge that came from the filter. The water overall got a little cloudy (but not too much). The gauge was registering around 10PSI.
So my theory is in a low power pump the water moves very slow through the sand and filters better. But in a high powered pump it goes through so fast that it can even take material with it out the filter? The filter is in great condition I put new sand and the laterals were perfect. What causes these anomalies!!!!!
