Once your pool is up and running, soon after you will need to backwash.  The pool filter gathers and stores the contaminants, and when the pressure gauge rises on the filter, it's time to backwash.  Backwashing reverses the flow of water through the filter, and send the contaminants out the drain.  If you have a separate drain hose you will have to hook it up; my pool has a drywell I backwash to.  This video shows the steps needed to backwash your pool filter, with a little extra!
