Hi there! So I’ve been dealing with this problem since last year, and can’t figure it out. Everytime I backwash the filter, rinse and turn back to filter it shoots dirty water back into the pool for about 5 seconds then runs clear. It even happens when I’m not back washing, just when I simply turn it on in the morning to run for the day.

Could be an issue with the filter being dirty and allowing debris to pass through, a broken lateral in the filter, or a crack in a return line. Some more investigation would be in order, starting with a filter check/change the sand, and go from there.
