I am running an intex 12 in sand filter on a 12x30 prism pool. I recently started to get a lot of silt on bottom of pool. I’m wondering if it’s too much power and it is either over circulating and not filtering properly. It has not always been an issue but started to get progressively worse. I thought was mustard algae and it is not. I replaced sand and it still Happened, I ran a test and out the old weak filter in that came with pool And no silt On bottom. Getting very frustrated with what is causing it! Any insight welcome.
To much power?

Welcome to TFP! 
Our focus at this time would be water chemistry and not that of too much power or size of the filter. Can you post a full set of water test results and confirm which test kit you are using?

Hi - I agree on focusing on your water chemistry. Can you show us a photo of the silt on the bottom of the pool? Are you able to pick any up, or does it poof away?
