In this regard, what’s the difference between rinse and backwash?
Rinse runs water in the same direction that normal filtering does. Backwash runs it through the sand in the opposite direction. Rinse is to clear any dirt out of the clean side of the sand before you start sending it back to the pool.
Similarly one may ask, what is the backwash setting on a pool filter? The backwashing process reverses the flow of water to flush out contaminants from a swimming pool filter. It should be carried out until water runs clear through the waste line.
Simply so, do all pool filters have backwash?
Whether you choose to clean your pool with a sand or DE filter, you can easily backwash it on your own. All pool filters follow the same general steps for backwashing, but there may be small variations depending on the model you own. The owner’s manual should have detailed instructions for backwashing your filter.
