There should be a drain plug near the bottom of the filter. Open it and let drain. The sand will stay in.

What are each of these settings for on the filter- filter backwash recirc waste closed and rinse?
Filter setting intakes pool water through the skimmer, sends it through the filter (then heater, if any) and back into the pool. Backwash sends pool water through the filter in reverse and dumps the water out for cleaning purposes. In my experience if pool servicing is overdue you may need to backwash several times, running the filter setting a minute or two (without adding DE) in between each backwash. The filter is not really clean until the water runs clear. Recirculate is a round robin water voyage from skimmer to return port bypassing the filter if the pool is piped for this feature. Waste dumps water from the skimmer without going through the filter. Closed prevents water from entering the filter tank and should not be used with the pump running. It is for winterizing and servicing only. Some pools are piped so that the closed setting is used when vacumming the pool (with pump running). Most pools are piped so that the closing off of water from the filter is accomplished by turning a valve on one of the water lines. Rinse: Runs water through the filter in the normal direction and out the waste hose. This helps the sand to compact back down or the DE to settle back into the mesh before you start cycling back into the pool.
Is Salt filter better than DE filter for pool?
