Hello All,
Just bought a house that has an older Hayward DE filter setup. I’m a first time pool owner so please bear with me if any of this sounds dumb
I am trying to figure our how backwashing this particular model will work. I don’t think there is a multiport valve or a slide valve, but maybe I don’t know what I’m looking for. Pictures below are all of equipment. Interestingly there is also another set of pipes (that look like the pool pipes ?) away from the rest of the pool equipment. The pipes are u-shaped with a spigot valve and pressure gauge. The u-shaped pipes are near the exterior drainage lines, so I figured maybe something to do with the pool? When I turn that spigot no water comes out and the pressure gauge doesn’t move so I’m totally clueless as to what these are for.
Am I able to backwash this setup or will I always have to pull the filter grid out and hose off?
Thanks!
