I had this problem, too. Something is wrong in the valve head of the sand filter. If it is really old, the tension spring that holds the valve down in the selected position may be shot. If there is only a drizzle, the spider gasket that lines this valve may be shot. For my system, I had to saw through a few PVC pipes to free the head of the sand filter. As long as I had it off, I replaced the spring, spider gasket, & sand. Now my pool gets clean much faster (wish I had done this when I moved in.) One other thing: There is a basket-looking item that should be attached to the underside of the valve head. Mine stayed in the sand tank when I removed the head, and I thought that was supposed to be that way. It was not. With it that way, I also had a trickle through the discharge, as well as small debris re-entering the pool via the jets. I found where a screw had eroded away and replaced it, attaching the "basket" to the valve underbody. No more trickle, no more debris. -Chris of Argo

Is getting an air filter versus a fuel filter more important?
They are both very important. But a clogged fuel filter will stop the engine from even running. A clogged air filter will hurt performance and mileage but will not stop the engine from running unless it is totally clogged. Replace the air filter every 30,000 miles and the fuel filter every 50,000 miles.
When do you use backwash filter closed recirculate and rinse on a pool pump?
Filter-Basically the "normal" setting for your pump. Circulates water from pool to filter and back out again. Backwash-Your filter forms thousand of cages in which suspended particles passing through are caught. When these cages become saturated with dirt the filter must be clean through backwash and the dirt sent out. The pressure gague gives an indication of the pressure accumulated in the filter. Rinse-After backwashing a "rinse" operation is recommended before the filtration mode is restarted to ensure that no dirty water is returned to the pool. Recirculation- In this option the water from the pump will return straight to the pool without going through the filter. Rinse cycle is used to create greater circulation when adding chemicals during periods. Closed-As the name suggests, this closes off the entry of water to the filter and is most normally used when access to the pump pre-filter basket is required. Remember to always stop the pump before changing between any of these positions.
