What if your sand filter doesn't have the waste setting

Hello! Thank you so much for your videos. You helped us open our pool tor the first time last year and here we are again!

I do have a question about the system. When we shut off the filter after running it for a bit - the water in the skimmer seemed to kick back and allowed the debris to fall into the pool water and the basket by the motor seemed like it wanted to burst out of the container.

Is this something you’ve dealt with before? Any recommendations?

what are filter balls and are they better

Thanks for this, nice to know what all those settings are! The difference between backwashing and rinsing was not clear to me. I'm new to pool maintenance and I get a lot of conflicting info. Guys doing maintenance here tell me the sand filter needs replacement after 20 years, and they never mentioned anything about adding sand. I'm confused. How do I know when my filter needs more sand?

My friend is new to pool owning. I'm always glad to reference your videos!

Matt I really need you on this one I bought a new sand filter they gave me one bag of sand with it is silica 20 can I mix a different brand with it as long as it is silica 20 as well??

How often does sand need to be added to a sand filter? I'm pretty sure the installers said to add a bag every year but a friend said he's never added any. I don't think I lose much over the course of the summer backwashing every week. I've had it two summers and just checked it but not sure how full it should be. Thanks in advance and I love your videos and tutorials!

This was a great help . I just bought a blueberry sand filter this was great info. 😊 Thanks

I wish you wouldn't have lumped closed and winter together. We are above the freeze line and have had a lot of frozen valves due to using close instead of winter. Closed does just that it closes the valve trapping water in the valve that can freeze. Winter does just the opposite it completely opens the valve so all water can drain out. You may cost a lot of people a Ruther expensive repair due to a simple oversight.

Aren’t you supposed to only rotate the multiport clockwise? Not trolling, just an honest question cause I swore I was told counter clockwise is bad for the thing.

Great video timing for me. As I was conducting my morning pool maintenance, I determined I needed a refresher on pool filter settings. Thanks for the update.

Thank you guys👍
