Answer 1

HAVE YOU TRIED DOING THIS ON BACKWASH? I DONT THINK WASTE IS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT ANYWHERE BUT  THE DUMP LINE. YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK YOUR MULTIPORT SPIDER GASKET,IT MAY HAVE SPLIT IN ITCAUSING WATER TO BYPASS.

Answer 3

I agree with the other answers but buy some algae killer also. Don't forget the acid too as that opens up the algae so the algae killer can work.

Answer 4

i own a pool company please see email

Answer 5

You need a better filter.  Earth based filters are the best.  Vacuum up all the junk then backflush the filter and add new earth powder.

Never had an issue with earth based filters..........

Answer 6

after you have vacuum the pool, you need to turn your filter to waste for about 2 mins this will ensure all of the algae is gone
