I have a 22.5" sand filter on my pool (approx. 7000 US Gallons) - and it was installed 3.5 weeks ago. I haven't backwashed it yet, because it hasn't risen 10 lbs of pressure yet.
We just had a rain, so I've got a bit of water to spare right now - wondering if I should backwash now or wait for the pressure to rise.
I have cleaned out my pump basket as well as my skimmer basket, and I have vacuumed regularly (2x weekly or more, to me seems regularly...) suction and the water return are still strong.
Any opinions? We are new owners. Thanks!
