Ever noticed cloudy water or DE powder blowing back into your pool after a backwash? In this episode, I dig into why DE ends up where it shouldn’t — in your pool instead of on your filter grids. I’ll walk you through the common internal failures that cause this, like torn grids, cracked manifolds, or broken air bleeds. I also talk about where and how to properly clean your DE filter so you can inspect everything without missing the sneaky stuff. This is Part 1 of my troubleshooting series — and it starts right inside the tank.
