If you have a sand filter You will note a pressure gauge on it When the needle goes too high into the red or when it indicates high pressure the filter will need to be back washed. To do this (stop the pump) then turn the handle on top of the sand filter to back wash. Start the pump. Usually there is a clear bubble on the side of the multi port control unit on top of the sand filter through which you wil see the water that is doing the backwash. This water is going to waste. watch it until it runs clear again and then stop the pump. Now turn the handle to rinse and start the pump again. this will help any residual dust from blowing back into the pool. let it run for about 45 seconds. stop the pump and return the lever to the filter position. If every thing was done correctly the pressure on the gauge will be down, there will be more suction and there should be a minimum of residual dust getting back into the pool via the returns.
