After i turn the pool filter on i start to loose water and i dnt know why

Question

after the pump is on for a little while the water level starts to drop and i dnt know why i am loosing water..

Answer 1

you might be losing it through your backwash line there might be a bad seal that is letting some water out that way

Answer 2

Check the position of the handle on top of the filter. Make sure it is in the filter position. If it is in the drain or backwash position the water will be pumped out. Otherwise you will need to be looking for a leak.
