As you can tell by my username, I am a total pool newbie. So new, in fact, that I don't even know how many gallons are in my pool or how to even figure that out.
I inherited my parent's house which came with a pool, and I have NO IDEA what to do with it. The filter doesn't seem to be working, it runs, but the water is not really flowing. I think I need to clean/backwash it, but I'm afraid to do anything. I've done some googling, but can't find any directions. There are directions on the filter, but it references a "valve" and I have no idea which valve they are referencing.
I am posting a pic with two valves circled, one in red, the other green.
The green is a "Jandy" valve
I don't know what the red one is.
I feel like a pool moron, please help! I don't want to do anything stupid and blow up my filter or something.
