When vacuuming your pool the dirt flows straight through your cartridge filter and into the pool?

I've been working at a pool store for about 6 years now and this one comes up constantly. What you are probably seeing is not dirt but algae. This is completely normal so don't worry. If you see algae coming out the return you must kill it before you can clean it. I would recommend shocking with liquid chlorine and brushing the pool immediately after to suspend algae and increase surface area for more chlorine contact. Have your pool water tested to try and prevent the problem from repeating. If you have a tear in your cartridge this is usually paired with cloudy water and decreased filter pressure. If you suspect your cartridge is bad it will need to be replaced.
