Hooked up filter backwards

Recommended Posts

I have an above ground pool and I hooked up the filter backwards and ran it for a half day before noticing what I did. Now my water is all cloudy. Did I mess up my filter and can I clean the water to bring it back to clear? 

Im a first time pool owner

What kind of filter do you have?  sounds like you run the backwash directly to the pool?

It should normally not be a problem because you have a higher pressure going to the pool then to the waste. 
The dirt in your pool now should clear up again, use a pool cleaner robot if you got one to speed things up. 
and maybe shock chlorine the pool. 

If its still cloudy then use some Flocculation
