    Switching Hayward C5030 Cartridge Filter Inlet and Outlet Ports

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. The parts seems to fit perfectly, all that seems to be needed is the shortening of part 15. I like your idea of leaving in part 17 to reduce bottom sediments in the filter. I'm somewhat assured by your agreement that the filter will function pretty much...

    Switching Hayward C5030 Cartridge Filter Inlet and Outlet Ports

    I'm upgrading my filter with a Hayward SwimClear C5030. Given my pool plumbing, which includes solar heating panels high up, it would be much cleaner to have the inlet port be the bottom and outlet at the top. Here is a file with my model's parts list, with inlet at top (parts list at end of...

    Back Flushing Cartridge Filter Possible?

    So to summarize, even if reverse flushing a cartridge filter: a) got the filter cartridge as clean as hosing it down (unlikely) b) doesn't tear the filter cartridge on repeated use (unlikely) c) doesn't adversely affect/bypass internal pressure safety release valves (if any) it would cost...

    Back Flushing Cartridge Filter Possible?

    I was wondering if anyone's ever tried back flushing a cartridge filter. I have a Hayward cartridge filter system and have been hosing the filter down once a day at pool opening to clean out the pond. The Hayward filter enclosure wasn't specifically designed for back flushing, I'm sure, but if...
