Maybe, maybe not. I have a VERY large filter and a very precious source for water. Much better for me to filter into my big filter and then backwash.I've vacuumed to the filter in the past but was told to waste was a better option.

I vacuum to waste at about 90 gpm and my well is capable of producing 2 gpm. If I vacuum for 15 minutes, that's about 12 hours of well production,
Each case is different.
