Hi all,
I just brushed the steps, walls and floors of my pool and disturbed a bunch of dirt that I didn't know was there. The water is now cloudy & dirty-looking, but it was clear before the brushing. This is the first time in about a month that I've brushed because we've had a lot of heavy rain. Normally, I don't see all this dirt when I brush on a weekly basis.
My question: is it normal that all this dirt has accumulated, or is it a sign that I need to clean my filter? My filter was last cleaned about 5 months ago and the pressure was 12. Today, my pressure is 16.
I'm running my vacuum now to help clear the dirt. Is there anything else I should do to clean it?
Thanks for the help!
