Do you backwash your pool before you put chemicals in?
No you only backwash your pool when your filter pressure on your filter is high 30psi and above on most pools. If you backwash your pool be sure to add two scoops of de to your skimmer. If the presure is still high the u need to clean the filter
When filter turns on-green water and DE shoots in-above ground pool?
There may be a part broken inside the filter allowing waste to bypass and circulate back into the pool. You should clean the filter then inspect for cracks, rips or other damage.
When do you add DE to a pool?
You add D.E. to a pool when you do a fresh filter clean. You also add D.E. if you have to backwash your pool more than normal. When you backwash the pool it is also dumping the D.E. out so it needs to be replaced to keep the grids covered so the pool can filter properly. Hope it helped

How do you clean DE filter with muriatic acid?
There is no reason to use muriatic acid to clean a DE filter. If you disassemble the filter and clean each grid thoroughly with a hose nozzle, they will be clean enough. In the case of heavy minerals in the pool water, or long periods of time since last clean, the white fabric may be somewhat discolored. Don't worry though. That's not a problem. But be sure and take the time to examine each grid for tears/breaks. Replace any damaged grids found. I'm always happy to answer pool-related questions. Contact me at anjeli-klean.com
