I've always had a problem with dirt blowing back in the pool when vacuuming. Essentially the filter never clogs, it just blows dirt right through.
The filter is a Waterway Plastics - Clearwater high rate sand filter 22" rated for 55gpm max.
The pump is a Hayward SP1580X15 which says 70gpm on the tag.
Am I on the right track here? I'm thinking that a smaller pump might actually work better in that the filter will actually plug up when it's dirty.
Or, can I just close the valve on the intake to slow the flow down a little?
