Finished piping to my backwash line. I couldn't keep the pipe that actually swivels to my backwash pipe connected cause the water would rush out that end before going thru the long run of pipe to woods. Had to put a cap on for now where T is. I can still just pop the cap off since I didn't...

All good. Just gotta add the 1.5” pipe to my back was line but I tested and works.

Here's what I was thinking. Do I really need a valve on the other side? With the spigot there wasn't. Not sure I have the plumbing room for a valve on the filter side.

was thinking something like this on amazon...Hayward QTA1020CSEW 2-Inch White QTA Series True Union PVC Compact Ball Valve with EPDM O-Rings

could I put a 2" ball valve union on the end instead of a spigot and hook up 1.5" pvc to drain excess? I don't like dealing with hoses and the blue backwash lines.

Thats what I use to have but I got rid of it when I replumbed it last year. Question, if I put a T connector where the elbow is could I put a ball valve union on there instead of a spigot and hook up 1.5" pvc to drain excess?

So I have plenty of sump pumps and the proper 1.5 pvc piping to attach it to my backwash line so that can just throw the pump on the step and drain without draining below skimmer. But I am simply looking for something turn key. I have a backwash pvc line that goes out to the woods I back to and...

Hi, trying to make things easier for myself for my pool maintenance. I have a hayward slide piston valve with open and closed for backwashing (DE Filter). I used to have a hose bib for draining the pool water but deleted it when I replumbed everything last year. I never really used the bib cause...

Good reads. thanks. I've read them before. I guess the problem is time, I don't have enough of it. I never had a problem of maintaining FC levels. I shocked once a week, kept a puck or 2 in skimmer. This year nothing works. Frequency is key I guess. I'll keep logging my results.

New user here, hello everyone! Pool is clean and clear. 2 days ago I added 10 gallons of liquid chlorine that got rid of some visible algae on walls. After trying my usual powder 3-4 lb of shock routine I wasn't getting any FC readings. FC was sky high of course. Yesterday morning I was at 5...
