Homeowner Repair im cleaning my pool, adding alkalinity plus and poolside turbo shock, should I keep my Hayward in the filter setting, thanks.
@GaryGrube1 Жыл бұрын
Always turn the Multiport Valve handle in the same direction. Hayward recommends clockwise to make it easy to remember which direction you are using and to do it the same every time you move the valve handle.. Turning the handle back and forth can damage the valve gasket or cause it to wear out faster. So, if you always turn the valve handle in the recommended clockwise direction; when it is set to, "Waste", don't turn it backwards (counter clockwise) to, "Filter". Turn it from, "Waste", clockwise all the way back around to, "Filter". Again this is per the Hayward rep. Also, when my pool equipment was installed, the pool techs emphasized this to me when they were showing me how to operate the equipment.

I was told this was an issue. That there should be water inside while running, otherwise the filter is broken. Any tips on this??

Yeah if the pool hoses are all connected and there is no water in the filter either a valve is closed going to the filter or something is preventing water from going into the filter.

Homeowner Repair I see. Would you agree that the entire filter would need to be replaced or should this be further looked into? The guys who came recommended a full replacement as they said the filter looked “winterized” and wasn’t properly turned on for the season or something and that there would otherwise be no reason for the tank to be missing water. They said the filter looked about 10 years old and could use it anyway.

@edlingja12 жыл бұрын
The air is probably coming from the suction lines but if your lines are good then occasionally you can get air trapped in the filter dial head. If so, you generally turn pump off, use recirculate for a few mins, turn pump off again, back to filter. If you are still getting air in the system you can plug the waste line temporarily to see if air is sneaking past the internal gasket on the dial head and causing the pump to not prime completely full (replace it if it is).

Use waste to vacuum, don’t put debris straight into your filter on purpose. Top up pool first then vacuum til your heart’s content using a vacuum plate on the skimmer. If your pressure gauge is reading over 20 psi, do a backwash for 3-5 mins, then rinse for 30 sec - 1 min. Most pools should be around 7-14 psi steady pressure, when you go 8-10 psi over your original reading then you backwash. If the filter pressure is always high then replace sand and you should get back to the ~10 psi zone. It all depends how your system started off as new, some people’s pools run at higher pressures because of combined issues or maybe their pump is very powerful. Mostly plumbing issues cause higher starting pressures.

I would have to disagree. A backwash setting reverses the flow of water in your plumbing. If you watch a typical operation your skimmer or bottom drain are "pulling" water in and your circulation ports "push" water out. If you change to backwash the water is reversed. Try to vacuum and rather than pulling debris up through filter you will simply be pushing it around with a jet of water.

Didn't understand about winter setting... Please help.
@HomeOwnerRepair4 жыл бұрын
The winter setting should be used at the end of the season once all water has been drained from the filter. It props up the valve diverter inside.

I maintain a pool and do a backwash, then rinse, then back to filter. However what happens when its back on filter and turn pump back on all the dirty water goes through the glass where you can see the quality of water and then it goes out the jets and into a pool. I back washed our pool this morning, it was crystal clear, then after i backwashed the water was cloudy.....should i be doing something differently?

Yes put it in rinse for 30seconds to a minute after you backwash
@officerkrupke49665 жыл бұрын
The spider gasket under the multiport valve may be defective, causing the backwash water to also go into the pool. Next time you do a backwash, look to see if dirty water is coming out of pool jets.

Backwash 3-5 mins generally, rinse for 30 sec - 1 min. Backwash cleans from the bottom up. Rinse cleans from the top down (very important).

Should the valve stay on filtration
@HomeOwnerRepair Жыл бұрын
If you would like to filter the pool under normal operation then yes. The filteration setting will filter the water.

I have a filter which does not have the Recirculate setting, but that has the Whirlpool setting. Are these the same?
@HomeOwnerRepair4 жыл бұрын
No, The Whirlpool setting bypasses the filter and should create a stronger water return flow into the pool.

mine has waste settings so whats the difference between waste and backwash
@HomeOwnerRepair3 жыл бұрын
Backwash reverses the flow of water and cleans algae out of the filter sand. Waste by-passes the filter and should be used to vacuum hard to remove algae out of the pool. Hope this helps you out.

How do you bleed air out of this filter?
@HomeOwnerRepair Жыл бұрын
There might be an air relief valve at the top of the filter.

It should be on filter. I typically turn the filter off when people are in the pool swimming.

if i turn to backwash i turn on the pump or not?

Yes the pump should be running so that all of the crud comes out of the filter. Shut the filter off, turn to backwash and then turn the filter back on.
