Backwashing

First, check your filter pressure gauge; a rise means it’s time to backwash. Next, turn off your pool pump to avoid damage. Then, lift and turn the multiport valve to the “Backwash” position carefully.

Turn the pump back on and run it until the water clears, usually 2-3 minutes. Finally, switch the valve to “Rinse,” run briefly, then return it to “Filter” and restart the pump. Keep going to uncover the full process and helpful tips.
