I have a new pool (IG Gunite, 27,000 gallon). After heavy rains here in the Northeast I was told by the pool company to drain some water using the backwash feature on my Pentair Quad DE filter. So I do the backwash and really not noticing any dirty DE coming out...add DE to the skimmer and noticed it's coming out of the returns. I thought I might have done something wrong as this is my first attempt at this. Heavy rains again last night and again I do a backwash to rid the pool of water...again not noticing any dirty DE....add the new DE to the skimmer and it comes out of the returns again. Does anybody have any ideas of what is going on here? I don't think it should be coming out of the returns...pool is all cloudy now and I'm wondering what to do. Looks like the pool builder will be getting a phone call first thing in the morning!
