Made an error...vaccum'd pool on backwash..now what?

[FlexMasterson]

Hi All!

So after successfully battling an algea problem I was going to vaccum up the dead algea but accidently did it while my sand filter was on backwash setting

When I was done I switched it to rinse and ran it for about 45 second. Now it's running in filter mode again. What should I do now????

Water is crystal clear and all chemicals are correct.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Unless your pressure gauge shows a high reading requiring another backwash, I don't think there's much to do right now. Just monitor and do a standard backwash when required. Put a post-it on the multiport ........ "Note to self, do not vacuum on backwash!" Ha.

LOL,will do. Thanks for the advice will just monitor.

Make sure your pool water level is up to snuff and move on.... No damage, no foul.
