when we moved in to our new house in Feb mine was pushing like 90+ AND they bottomed out PH andTA, they CYA was well over 800 so since it was obvious they didn't take care of the pool, we drained it completely, filled it and I started from scratch.. now I have ripped out all the plumbing and...

Im hopping in to say welcome and so I can watch it unfold ❤️ You will love it here, I showed up years ago and never leave

My fiter is smaller than yours I believe I have a hayward DE4820 So on mine after tear down cleaning is 6 lbs for full so after I backwash (I can't see mine either so I just use times) I do about 4 lbs back in, it seems to work for mine and if its happy Im happy lol

he has an entire loft upstairs full of his toys, plus the garage full so clearly I have never stopped him lol

As another update with SWG coming this week and needing to redo my plumbing anyway, I started thinking about a new pump either dual speed or VS.. I figured my hubby would flip out but he surprisingly said go for it so im open to any recommendations here for that

As an update Circupool Edge40 was ordered this morning so probably today and tomorrow, Im gonna see if I can diagram out what plumbing I will need etc..

well as @kimkats can tell you nothing I have or do can be normal and straight forward ??

here is theE area

thanks for this! One question bother valves? Treat me like a 5yo lol

that was where my mind went as it was the only logical way for it to maneuver, it's just a weird setup and my goal is to eventually have that whole area redone

I try just to have normal returns but looks like the sheer descent dribbles but not gushing at least, my pain point is still trying to figure out what does what lol I did put the circupool edge40 in my cart to remind myself ?

I will look at the bigger ones and your guess is probably better than mine on the 3 lines but here is my guesses: 1. Normal returns, 2. Waterfall 3. I think there are returns/jets on the bench that I accidentally had turn on ONCE when I was messing with valves lol

I have pretty much decided to get a swcg.. I am going to go with circupool edge 25.. so next week should get interesting since my gut tells me I am going to need to redo a lot of plumbing to do this, I have NO space after the filter to work with and the filter is pretty much against 2 walls...

AJ has you well covered but I popped in since I am a DE filter girl and the same type of push pull for mine.. for mine, I turn handle counter clockwise and lift up to start backwash.. I use timers and backwash 2 min then push down and turn it back clockwise and filter for 30-45 sec then repeat...

we have one now his name is Tripp ??
