Sand Filter Issues

[chinewalker]

The only problem I have with the oversized pump theory is that a friend had this pool for 10 years and never had this issue. It is still the original pump and filter. The filter is a 90# and I'm not sure of the size of the pump. It's a matched set that came with the pool kit.

uhhh...as I was writing "the filter is a 90#..." I realized that I used two 50# bags to fill it. Could an extra 10# of sand cause such a problem?

Any ideas about the big brown plume problem? The pool looked so nice before I flipped the switch this morning. It clouded the whole pool.

BTW, My pump is a 1hp. Filter says 20 gal/per minute.

Thanks!
