  • SVO: pool backwash?

    On my D.E. filter, when I pull my push/pull valve open to,backwash, it sends dirty water back into my pump. What could cause this?

    If it is with the pump not running it is normal. An excessive amount of drain back with the pump off can be caused by an air leak that allows the water in the filter to drain down very quickly.

      Yeah, pump not running. Was quiet a bit of backflush. Also my push/pull has gotten stiff and it would pop up when I pushed it back,down. Not it does,not pop up. Any,thought on that as well.

          I usually take mine apart and grease the o rings at least once a year.. Its pretty easy, unless you break it, then its a pita..

            Get new o-rings. Lube the o-ring grove with the red tube Magic Lube and then put the new o-rings on. Reassemble the BW valve and enjoy.

              And DO NOT use Vaseline or any other petroleum based lube...Only use teflon based lube
