Backwashing
Backwashing your swimming pool is a routine and simple process that's essential for the health and functionality of your filter. It removes dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the filter system, so the water stays clean and clear. It also helps keep your pool's pH levels balanced, which helps prevent algae growth and other water-borne illnesses.
The process of backwashing dislodges trapped debris and contaminants, flushing them out through your value's waste line or a hose that is connected to the pool pump. When the filter media is clean, the pressure gauge is lower and water can easily flow in and out of the system.
