Hello,
I just emptied my filter out due to murky film on top of my pool water and poor pump/filter operations. I watched a YouTube video which advised to put water into the bottom of the filter, then pour in glass medium, then added water filling up most of the tank, allowing about 5 inches below the top of the filter tube. When I placed the top back on ad tried to backwash, water pushed the top unit off. I am wondering if I put too much water into the filter and if I should drain some out to reduce the pressure? If anyone can advise, please do! Thank you VERY MUCH!!
