Cartridge filter. I turned the pump off and opened the air valve to empty the pump basket. When i turned it back on, after it primed, a bunch of dirt came shooting out of the returns for about 15-20 seconds before it went clear again. It was enough to cloud the pool until it settled.
I'm guessing there's a gap that is opening up inside the filter when there's no water pressure and it seals itself back up when it's primed again. Is that likely or is there another possibile reason?
