Hello everyone,
I have an intex Krystal Clear sand filter and I am running into some issues when trying to backwash. ill be honest our pool got decently dirty this off season. When we got the pump up and running everything was working great. The problem is when I go to backwash it there is barely any pressure coming out of the drain port. When I rinse the sand there is a lot of water coming out and when I filter there is good pressure coming out of the return port in the pool. I only loose pressure when I backwash. When the pump is in "filter" my pressure gage is only showing in the line right between yellow and green. any ideas as to why when I backwash there is barely any water coming out of the drain port?
Thanks all!
