Hi all
Hayward 4 variable speed pump going into DE System 3 S7MD60 filter with multiport backwash. 2” plumbing.
Here’s the problem.. when I set to backwash the pump primes for 5 minutes at max RPM and the outflow from the waste line is insane — hose goes wild have to hold it with 2 hands and all your might just to try to control it and the outflow of water is way way to much. In literally 5 minutes (prime duration) I took the water from slightly above the skimmer due to lots of rain to half way on a 25,000 gallon pool.
On the pump it Doesn’t seem like prime RPM can be adjusted… just time. For backwash only would it be safe to override prime duration and change from 5 minutes to 0 and then I can change the program and set RPM to like 1500 to get something more easily to control?
Don’t want to damage pump equipment. Open to any other better solutions as well…. TIA
