Complete a Final Backwash of the System:
A five-minute backwash of the system is required to clean the sand in the filter. Before starting this procedure, remove all debris from the water using the skimmer, try to limit turbulence as much as possible. Do not try to remove the debris sitting on the pool floor, these accumulations will be removed later using the vacuum. |
- Hook up the waste hose to the filter and uncoil it all the way to the street or drainage area.
- Fasten the adjustable collar to hold the hose firmly in place.
- Stop the pump.
- Set the filter lever to the “backwash” position (by turning it clockwise) and run the pump for three seconds to “prep” the waste hose and prevent it from being damaged by the pressure.
- Run the pump once again, this time for around five minutes, and stop it after this time has elapsed.
- Set the filter lever to the “whirlpool” position and run the pump for approximately one minute. Stop the pump after this time has elapsed.
- Turn the filter lever to the “rinse” position and run the pump for thirty seconds. Stop the pump after this time has elapsed.
- Set the filter lever to the “filter” position but do not start the pump.
