There are many forms of pool maintenance. One of the main areas you need to ensure you can control is the pool. The water level should be consistently high. The water level may increase or decrease due to rain and heat. In that case, your pool can be severely affected. It’s important to maintain a constant water level to ensure your pump and Kreepy Krawley are working properly. If the pump is too high, it cannot pull foreign objects into the swimming sock or paddle. If this continues, your pool will look more like a swamp than its original shape.
Back-washing is a pool service used only with sand or (DE) filters when the manometer shows a pressure increased by 8 to 10 pounds above the initial clean pressure or flow. If you drastically reduce the filter, it will get dirty, and you will have to wash the filter in the pool. Pulling the thrust valve’s piston up or down, it reverses the direction of the water entering and leaving the filter. Here we have the word “anti-wash” because we direct the water back through the pool filter.
A mandatory aspect of swimming pool maintenance is back-washing the pool. During the back-washing process, your pool water will decrease. Once you have back-washed, the pool makes sure to check the level and if it needs to fill up, simply use your hose pipe to fill it up to the correct level. Even your Kreepy Krawley can affect the level. A rule of thumb to avoid issues is always keeping an eye on the water; if it is too high, you can do a back-wash, too low, fill it up with water from your hose.
The actual back-washing process is complete when the system’s operating pressure increases between 6 and 10 PSI. The time required to wash again depends on the waste in the filter. In the case of new filters or filter sand, we recommend adding water to the pool and washing it again for 3-5 minutes to remove the smallest filter from the system so that you can return to the pool.
For the rest of the conditions, the right step is to go back and forth on the timer and look at the side mirrors attached to the back sight mirror. With the vision function, you can watch the water as it comes out of the filter. With the preview, you can see the water removing dirt from the filter. This should take one to three minutes, depending on the debris in the filter. You should continue to wash until the water on the screen is clear, as this indicates that dirt has left the filter.
To check the filter gauge’s operation, turn off the pipe, and you will see the filter gauge drop to zero. Suppose the filter pressure gauge has not been completely disconnected. In that case, it must be replaced as it will no longer be calibrated and may provide incorrect pressure readings across all pressure ranges. Due to the low cost of replacing the filter gauge, you recommend that you replace the gauge if you are unsure of its condition or accuracy.

Observe the system’s net pressure, the best way to determine when after washing is necessary is to wait for the pressure in the filter to rise from 6 to 10 PSI above the cleaning pressure. You exceed 30 PSI. While newer have a maximum pressure of 50 PSI, anything above 30 PSI is very high. If you have a high-pressure filter, you may want to invest more to decrease the force. The pressure under your system
In case you want to use the filter to know when to clean the filter, make sure the filter measures well. It’s known that these filters are often unsuccessful and may inadvertently experience higher pressures than you experience with your filter. It can damage the filter and, in the worst case, be dangerous.
To check that the filter gauge is working, turn off the plumbing, and you will see that the filter gauge drops to zero. Suppose the filter pressure gauges it’s not fully reduced to zero. In that case, it must be replaced as it is no longer in calibration and can provide incorrect pressure values across all pressure ranges. Due to the low cost of replacing the filter, it is highly recommended to replace the gauge if you are unsure of its condition or accuracy.
The actual back-wash process must be completed when the system’s operating pressure increases by six to10 PSI. The wash time depends on how dirty the filter is. For new filters or new sand filters, we recommend adding water to the pool and rinsing for 3 to 5 minutes to remove sand from the smaller filter in the system to return to the pool.
The best practice is to operate your filters in the cleaning settings. This is half the time you just cleaned up before returning the filters to the Filter setting. It will remove some debris from the filter head and remove any debris that returns to the pool.
For all other conditions, the right step is to go back and forth on the stopwatch and look at the side mirrors attached to the back-wash door. With this screen function, you can see the water as it comes out of the filter. You can see the water through the preview while the residue is removed from the filter. This should take one to three minutes, depending on how dirty the filter is. You should continue to wash until the water on the screen is clear. It indicates that the debris has been removed from the filter.
How often is back-washing required?
Pool cleaning is critical to the maintenance and responsibilities associated with pool ownership. You should try to clean the pool if you detect something looking dirty or not working efficiently. You should also clean the foamers, vacuum the pool, clean the tiles, and clean the pump.
If possible, you should clean the deformers daily. Depending on how close your pool is to the trees, you will clean the defoamers only a few times a week. However, you will quickly discover that you will wash the pool more often if you do not clean the defoamer. You will also find that your defoamer and the pipes leading to the pump chamber can easily clog hair, leaves, and other substances, causing your filter system to stop working.
You need to empty once a week. Some people recommend it twice a week. But it ended up giving a lot of work. If your pool is close to a lake or trees, you may need to increase this number. Vacuuming will remove leaves and other debris that start to work within your pH level.
The tiles are cleaned weekly. However, this is another time-consuming task. So if you clean the tiles every few weeks, no one will blame you.
The pump must be-thoroughly clean twice in a season. It includes manually operating the pump for cleaning. Back-washing can be done by the pressure you see on the pump. If you get too high as you are 40 years old, you need to get back as soon as possible.
When should your cartridge filter be replaced?
There is no back-wash valve on the cartridge filter, as the filter cartridge in the current pool is not designed for backflow. However, the pump turns off, the fan opens to drain the water from the tank, remove the cap, remove the cartridge from top to bottom and replace it. This is a regular service to keep the filter clean. However, we recommend replacing your filters every year. As the filter age, the time between the necessary cleaning and the filter will decrease to keep the water clean and prevent it from turning green faster.
When changing the filter settings, you must turn off the pump before adjusting the filter settings—changing the filter settings while the pump runs may damage the filter and damage or remove the spout seal on the filter head. In this case, the water comes out along the anti-wash and slowly flows out of the pool.
It’s important to keep your pool clean to avoid algae and regular seepage and keep your pool looking its best. It’s just a guideline. If you think you need to clean your pool more often, keep cleaning the pool. The cleanest is when it comes to the pool.
Taking care of your pool is also very important.
