Likewise, people ask, what are the positions on a sand filter?
Just so, what is the waste position on pool pump?
The WASTE Position:
Waste diverts the water pumped in from your pool from the filter and sends it directly out of the backwash hose, without even entering the filter tank. It’s one of two ‘Bypass’ settings on a multiport valve.
Which way should pool returns face?
Most people like to point the jets in a unified direction, clockwise or counterclockwise. On older pools, return jets might have been built on one side or end of the pool with the skimmer opposite the return jets.
What is the recirculate position on a pool pump?
The recirculate setting on a swimming pool filter is actually used to bypass the filter mechanism. Recirculate allows the water to flow out of the pool and back into it again without running through the sand or diatomaceous earth in the filtration system.
Should both holes in skimmer be open?
The skimmer sits at the waterline and catches leaves, bugs and trash so they do not clog the filter. Skimmers with a second hole help keep the pump from running dry if the water level is unstable.
What position should my pool valves be set?
Which way do you turn a pool filter valve?
How do you use a Hayward sand filter?
Should skimmer valve be open or closed?
For the cleaner to operate at maximum efficiency, only the skimmer and cleaner valves should be open. So it is either main drain+skimmer or cleaner+skimmer. Never main drain+skimmer+cleaner all open at the same time.
