How to backwash my system

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Looks like you have a cartridge filter in which case those do not get backwashed (like sand or DE). You have to remove the filters and rinse them off periodically. Hopefully with a large filter like yours once or twice a year if the water is maintained properly.

You have 3 suction valves before the pump. The larger square one is automated for your spa. The other two are manual valves probably for the skimmer and main drain. They are both fully open.

Besides turning the pump to 100%, is there anything else I should do when I manually vacuum the pool?

Be sure to purge air out of the vacuum hose line as best as you can before doing a final connection. I still vacuum old-school manually, so with the pump running, I lay the vacuum hose on the water, then I put one end of the vacuum line at a return jet and let that fill up the vacuum hose before I connect the other end into the skimmer. That's just one example.
