Extremely well explained specially with the animation and showing the water flow as well.. 👍👍

This is exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to get home and vacuum properly. Do everything properly. Thank you. God bless

BAM!! I'd been trying to get rid of debri from the bottom of the pool on while on ***filtration*** having zero idea it needed to be on **waste**! Thank you SO much!

8 years later and I'm impressed with the animations. Well done. Great explanation too.

Excellent explanation! The animation really helped and gave me a clear understanding!

I’m house sitting this is perfect now to work out the control box on how to manually turn the pump on and off but thank you the video is awesome

This is best video on internet how pump works !

The BEST instruction video by a mile.....thankyou

This is exactly what I needed to know!

I didn’t know you can vacuum and bypass the filter by using the waste setting. I’m definitely trying it when I open my pool. Thank you!

4:05 It Makes sense because it does not clean the water, and if it did, it would make the sand dirtier, requiring a backwash and rinse! Thank you because my grandfather will understand all the functions because he only knows filter, backwash, rinse! :D And also, You have to rinse after backwash, otherwise it will bring the sand into the pool, requiring a vacum!

This is the best video I've ever seen

Never saw any demo where the multiport is maneuvered clockwise and anticlockwise. Have always read and been told clockwise only is the way to prevent damage to multiport seal.😎

I think I understand the thing now...thank you!

Always turn the filter value hand in one direction only this filter goes clockwise as most multiports . Always go in the direction backwash,rinse, filter that way you will not harm the internal gaskets

Very informative video, but for the sake of argument don't use the waste gate function on an overfilled pool... rather backwash until your water is at the requited level. That way you get to clean your filter really well without wasting water.

I have a old 1 speed 3 hp 1996 challenger and the motor need replacement . Is it wise to buy a 2 speed motor to replace the one speed motor for energy saving when I just want to circulate my chemicals in the water???? BTW. I have an 8 jet spa and when valved off the spa has one separate jet that acts as a pool a overflow water fall while the pool is in valved for circulation and skimming. I also have a return separately valved for my polaris pressure side cleaner that i run as needed . In this 15000 gallon pool with a 10 person spa.

dont turn the multi port counterclockwise gotta turn it clockwise

Hi hon can you tell me if I could pour liquid shock through my cover without staining cover because not opening up pool yet need more time I’m up north east of the country.

If you vacum on waste do u take out both skimmer basket and the basket near the pump

@735rob

6 жыл бұрын

Willa Tarlton I would not recommend pulling out the baskets. What does it hurt to keep them in? Also in the event larger or hard items get sucked in the baskets will protect the impeller on your pump.

How do you avoid sand from going out of filter during backwash.. asking because we need to allow dirt to go out but prevent sand from leaving the filter..tricky

@735rob

6 жыл бұрын

Tushar Kathuria if you are loosing sand during backwash it may be an indication it is time to change your sand. Also losing a little bit of sand is not a big deal during backwash as it is also good that your sand is loose in the filter so the water is able to pass through the sand and not around the edge of the sand where it meets the filter housing this is what is referred to as channeling

How long they can take for cleaning ?? How many hours ??

Thx

MVP! MVP! MMMMVVVPPP!

Nice

How do i get sand that vot into pipe that goes down to the octopus lookig devise

I don't have a connection for a backwash or waste hose so I presume it is plumbed to a solid pipe running to drainage,

ALWAYS turn handle clockwise.

What stops the sand from escaping but not the dirt during backwash?

You showed that in wrong order you can mess up the spider gasket that way... always go clockwise

Completely untrue! The spider gasket is embedded in the housing and the lever simply lifts a slotted aluminum plate. To confirm, simply put the lever in "winterize", undo the 6 screws and lift off the lever ass'y. 5 minute job to replace the spider gasket after it ages and wont seal properly anymore( chlorine hardens the rubber)

Completely untrue. People tend to slap the multiport valve into position oppose to lifting and turning. The wiper blade analogy is spot on. Move in one direction to prolong the life of your spider gasket.

It's my understanding that the sand doesn't need to be changed until it has at least 3-4 seasons in it. General back-washing basically cleans the sand just enough to help bring the correct pressure in the system.

I’ve been running a sand filter in my pool for about 10 years. Sand is good in a filter for 3-5 years before sand gets dulled and doesn’t filter as well. I personally replace my sand every 3 years due to heavy pool use in the summer.

What do the octopus things do on the bottom of the filter. Do they shoot out water or what?

@@kellyhudson3191 They are called “laterals”. It’s purpose is to have even distribution of water through the filter media whether it is flowing top to bottom as in the filter mode, or flowing from bottom to top and then discharge outside the unit, as in backwash mode. The laterals have tiny slots cut in them along their length, or a mesh or non corrosive screen for waters entry or exit, and capped on the ends.

should I take the filter indoors in the winter and do I remove the sand?

@germandubois4014

I remove sand by scooping out sand as much as possible, then I turn filter upside down and use my water hose to clean out completely. I then store inside during winter. I don’t mind using fresh, clean, new sand every season. I’ve been doing this for more than 15 years. But I must say this video is by far the BEST instructional video. Wish it was available when I started. 10 star rating

why have i been warned to only rotate clockwise not counter clockwise like u have been doing in this video? does it really matter?

Generally 3-5 years is typical for sand replacement. The sand over time erodes and loses its sharp edges, becoming smooth and round, and does not trap debris very well.
