When you backwash your pool there is a stream of water coming out the side of the motor?

Quite possibly one of the connections into or out of the pump are not tight enough. If it's leaking out of the motor, chances are the motor housing has been breached and/or the impeller casing.

When you backwash your pool why does the water come out forcefully when other pools in the neighborhood seem to trickle?
Each time I backwash my pump head, the water comes out with extreme force. It has only trickled when something was going wrong. The pump may have been drawing air or the heads were dirty. During backwashing and rinsing, the water should be coming out with force. The pump pressure should even be lower when you return to filtering.

How do we backwash sand filter?
Backwash a sand filter with a multiport valve; # turn off the pump motor # Start by Rrotating the handle on the multiport valve from the FILTER position to the BACKWASH position, Usually in the opposite direction) # Start the pump, Usually there is a clear bubble on the sand filter and you will see dirty water running through it, Wait until this water starts to run clear. otherwise keep an eye on the water exiting if you can until it runs clear. this can take about 2 to 4 minutes. # Shut off pump motor and move multiport valve handle to the RINSE position .Run on rinse for 15 - 30 seconds. once again you can keep an eye on the clear bubble to see the water clear if you have one. # Shut off pump motor again and move multiport valve handle back to the FILTER position # Now start pump again on and take note of the lower pressure. when the pressure gets too high again it is time to backwash once again.
