Title of Question: DE powder blowing back into pool after backwashing

 

Name: D S    City: Worcester

Question: When I backwash my pool and then turn the gauge back to "filter", DE powder and small debris blow back into the pool through the returns. This causes a good amount of DE powder to constantly be settled on the floor of the pool. What could be causing this? I backwash and rinse for a sufficient length of time (I think)
