You have only about half pressure on your pool pump?
Usually the pressure gauge on your pool equipment indicates how much pressure there is before the filter. as the pressure goes up it indicates that the filter is getting blocked and needs a backwash or cleaning. while the pressure is low the filter does not need cleaning.
What special cleaning is needed if you find a dead bird in your pool?
Remove the bird and add shock to kill any biologicals. Run pump to circulate for 24 hours then backwash the filter.
How do you bachwash a hayward pool pump?
You don't backwash a pump, you backwash sand and D.E. Filters. To clean them you change your valve to the backwash setting. To clean a pump basket you turn off the pump, open the lid and pull the pump basket out, dump the contents and place it back into the pump and replace the cover. You may or may not need to prime the pump before you turn it back on.
How do you vacuum the waste in your below ground swimming pool?
Your question seems too easy as it is a basic requirement of pool cleaning. However: Attach your vacuum head to your side outlet (unscrew the cover in the side of the pool) using a floating hose. turn off the valves to the bottom drain and the skimmers, leave the pump setting on filtration, fill the hose with water and turn on the pump. After vacuuming the bottom of the pool, switch off pump and return valves to previous setting. be sure to backwash the filter after cleaning if required.
How do you pump the pool down a couple of feet?
One way if you have a sand filters is to use it's waste setting. That directs the flow of water out the backwash line without filtering it.
Do you need to bring pool pump and filter indoors?
No , if you have a D.E. filter instead of an older cartridge filter than the D.E. can get pretty messy if when you filter clean , and if you have a backwash when you backwash .

Where does pool backwash go?
It goes out the backwash line. This is usually either plumbed into the line, and either goes into the sewer, or out on the ground. Some setups have a hose that you unroll, and attach to a port on the valve. I found my discharge by putting the handle on "backwash", turning the pump on, and looking around! Mine happened to go out into the back ditch. Took all of about 10 seconds to find it.
Where is the backwash knob located on the swimming pool pump?
The "backwash knob" - usually called the handle - is located on top of the filter or just to the side of the filter on a sand filter. They could be on the very bottom of the filter or to one side of the filter but never on the pump. The filter is the large tank.
How do you know when you need new sand in a Hayward filter for an inground pool?
Depending on the size of the pool and the size of the filter and the amount of times you have to backwash, also if you have had a lot of rain then you may need to backwash more than usual. If you put the pool in and the filter and you know how old the sand is, if you are backwashing more than usual,change the sand. Also before you backwash check the pressure of the water going back into the pool, then backwash check the pressure again the pressure should for any size hayward pump push your hand away if it does not then change your sand.
How do you construct a sprinkler system with the pool's backwash discharge?
I am in the process of developing the same idea. My thoughts are to get rain water collection barrels and fill them with the backwash and add pump that is fed by the barrels to generate enough pressure for a few sprinlkers.
