Why does the water pressure go down with a dirty pool?
As the filter gets clogged it restricts the flow of water and the pressure in the return line drops. The pressure gauge on the filter itself indicates the entry pressure and that will go higher as the filter becomes clogged. Don't ever allow the pressure to reach 40 PSI. Back-washing the filter should restore the pressures. Pool Masters
What causes filter earth to come out the main drains in my pool?
Filter earth coming out of the main drains in your pool can be caused by a broken or damaged filter grid inside the pool filter, allowing the filter media to escape. It could also be due to high pressure in the filter system, causing the filter media to be forced back into the pool. Check the filter system for any damage or blockages, and ensure proper maintenance and cleaning of the filter.
