I have searched the forum and found posts relating to plumbing the backwash with PVC vs hose. However, I've not found one (so far) that answers my question.
My filter is approx 105 feet from the street and I'd like to get away from having to roll and unroll that blue hose all the time. My plan is to plumb it with PVC.
I'd like to start the run at the filter with 1.5 " pipe and step the size down as I get farther from the filter and closer to the street. My thoughts are to go maybe 30' with 1.5", step down to 1" for abt 30' then finish up with 3/4" for the end of the run.
Does anyone have any advice? Am I stepping down too far? I know that at the end of 100' of hose the pressure is decidedly softer than at the filter end of the hose.
Thank you for any input.
