I cleaned out my Hayward DE filter yesterday - the filter elements are looking pretty worn as it is about 8 years old.
Once I put it back together and started things up, my pool clouded up with DE.
I now have a cloudy pool and DE all over the bottom. I brush the floor and it seems to just stir up all the DE dust.
Will this eventually clear if I keep it stirred up and turning the pool water over with the filter?
I'm a bit worried that there could be something going on internally with my filter - the rubber o-ring on the stand pipe was shot so I removed it.
That and the condition of some of the filter elements.
I've cleaned the filter before and never seen it do this.
