To backwash a PondMAX Legacy Pressure Filter, you need to turn the water off, move the arrow to the backwash setting, and then turn the water back on. The dirty water will then come out of the backwash line.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Turn the Water Off: Begin by completely shutting off the water supply to the filter.
- Move to Backwash Setting: Locate the arrow or handle on your PondMAX Legacy Pressure Filter and rotate it to the designated "backwash" position.
- Turn the Water On: Restore the water supply to the filter.
- Observe the Backwash Line: Dirty water will start flowing out of the backwash line. Let the system run until the water runs clear.
- Rinse (Optional): After backwashing, some filters have a rinse setting. Use this setting to flush out any remaining dirty water.
- Return to Filter Mode: Once the water is clear, turn off the water supply and move the filter handle back to the "filter" position. Then turn the water back on.
