Do you backwash a pool after vacuuming?
Yes, we recommend backwashing after you vacuum your pool. This allows the filter to shoot out any dirt / debris you have vacuumed up.
Why is my pool blowing dirty water when I vacuum?
Waste setting sends water out of the pool like backwash none goes through the filter media (sand, de, cartridge). It uses up more water but the junk you get then bypasses the filter and goes to the grass etc. Also sand does not need changing except when converting from baquacil. It may however need cleaning.
Why does dirt come back into the pool?
No filter is designed to have dirt go through the filter and re-enter the swimming pool. As the filter sucks in the water from the skimmer hose it filters the dirt and debris, releasing clean water back through the pool’s return jet. If dirt is making its way back into the pool, try a few remedies.

Why does dirt come through my Jets when I vacum?
It could be something as simple as the filter needing to be backwashed. When the filter is totally clogged, it can “push” through dirt it would otherwise capture. if i manually vacuum using the rinse setting on my sand filter i get a slow release of dirt coming back through the jets.

Why is my pool water not coming out of the Jets?
This can result from lack of maintenance, including regular backwashing and filter media changes, or from the sudden bloom of algae or other organic matter in the pool that rapidly clogs the filter. All pool filters incorporate a water-pressure gauge. Manufacturer’s specifications state the proper range of operating pressure for the filter.
