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 glue it when I need to backwash. The T is a threaded end so I have plug for when I need to backwash so that water doesn't go into the waste line. I figure I would be using this new waste setup more to just lower water level. In the end it was probably around $70 in PVC parts to accomplish all this. I guess a multiport valve would've been around $200 and I didn't really want to cut into my freshly plumbed setup from last fall right now. If this setup fails I'll reevaluate.
