Hayward Pump and Sand Filter Issue

[Alemeg]

New to the site. Don't know if I am asking this question in the right place but here goes. I'm a rookie at below ground pools but have been able to figure things out so far. My current problem is getting my pool crystal clear. Yesterday, I noticed after asking my wife to turn on the pump. That clouds burst from my two returns in the shallow end of the pool. Pretty sure I have a filter problem. I bought the pool with the house so I don't know how old the filter is. It could be theoriginal (aka over 20 yrs old). It is a Heyward Sand Filter. Pump is working fine. Just looking where to start trouble shooting....or do I just replace the old filter?

Any thoughts where to start?

Alemeg,

The best thing for you to do would be to cut and paste your above post into a brand new thread. Just go to the main page for the AG pool equipment and construction forum, and look for the "new thread" button on the top left of the screen. You'll get more views and helpful information that way. The original poster of this thread pretty much has his problem solved, so this thread isn't going to be getting very much attention from those that can help.

Welcome to the forum!!
