My pool is half full, which dial option to fill it back?

[@househunt5175]

Anyone know of a video showing changing sand on an Astral model 3 pump?

Also can I point out that the pressure in the filter guage was 50 kpa (~ 8 psi ) and when at approx 70 to 100 kpa 10 to 14 psi . You would not have a filter left,it would explode if you ran it up to 50 psi

Wrong info,when you do a backwash,you don't switch the manually on button but use the feature on the chlorinator Maint/Backwash/ to cut the power to the electrode to give it a longer lifetime,same for Rinse.

thanks for the video....btw - do we have to switch any of the valves to or from the skimmers before the backwash?

PanosP.94 I’d love to know this too!! No one tells u anything at hand over 🤦🏽‍♀️

Why don't you use the safety backwash feature that the Astral chlorinator has. I see in the background that's what you have. Also you just set the duration that you want so no fear of forgetting to stop the pump. When I back wash I put my hose on full in the skimmer box, so I don't lose too much pool water containing salt and other chemicals. The close position is also used when you are cleaning or changing the actual pump filters, which need to be done regularly. Another tip I can add is, if your pool fills up with rainwater, instead of simply pumping to waste, use that water to backwash and rinse. Hopefully other pool owners will benefit from the above.
