My system doesn't have a backwash to "waste" setting only run and backwash. Can I remove my filter grids (so they dont get damaged) and set me system to "backwash" and use my vacuum to to section out the heavy "moon dust". I would also turn on my hose to add water so as not to let my water get below the skimmer line. Currently replacing my booster pump for my shark that would normally take care of this.
 
What model filter are we discussing?

Post pics of your equipment pad.

Normally backwash would be sent to a drain/waste pipe other wise it wouldn’t be a backwash. What’s moon dust?
