"The Big One" Super Cleaning Method.
This is the "Big One - Annual Super Cleaning Routine" I perform once per year on mine.
Before you stop the pump, open the sludge drain near the bottom of the filter (it's a ball valve) and note the amount and type of discharge. Close the sludge drain as soon as the water runs clear-ish.
- Stop the pump.
- Open the ball valve on the blower riser.
- Put the control head to "Backwash".
- Start the blower.
- Count to "seven-one-thousand" (Seven elapsed seconds if you have a timer)
- Stop the blower.
- Turn the control head to "Rinse".
- Start the blower again.
- The filter should shake, rattle and jump now.
- Run the blower until water stops coming out of the filter discharge line.
- Or, stop the blower after 4-5 minutes.
- Close the ball valve for the blower. You're done with the blower functions.
- Have the control head set on "Backwash"
- Restart the pump.
- When discharge starts running clear, stop the pump.
- Reset the head to "Rinse"
- Restart the pump.
- No water will come out the discharge line for a while. The filter is refilling.
- When water starts coming out of the discharge line - stop the pump.
- Reset the head to "Backwash" again
- Start the pump again, on "High" if it has this setting.
- When discharge appears to clear, stop the pump
- Reset the head to "Rinse" again.
- When discharge line is clear, stop the pump.
- Reset the head to "Filter".
- Restart the pump.
- THEN DON'T FORGET TO: Open the sludge drain once again while pump is running and marvel at the 'crap' that blows out.
