It is not always necessary to backwash after vacuuming a pool, but it is recommended in certain situations. If you've vacuumed up a significant amount of debris or dirt that has clogged the filter, backwashing can help restore proper water flow and filter efficiency. However, if the vacuuming was light and did not introduce much debris, you might not need to backwash immediately. Always check the pressure gauge on your filter; if it indicates a rise in pressure, backwashing is likely needed.
