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.
Furthermore, how long should you recirculate your pool?
Be sure to run your filter for at least 6 hours, but shoot for 24 hours to several days, if your pool is particularly dirty or has algae, to properly circulate the chlorine and clean the water.
Similarly, do you backwash before or after shocking? Backwash only as needed. Brush the pool vigorously, several times after shocking the pool. Do not use a solar blanket until chlorine and pH level are normal. If chlorine level drops to zero within 24 hours, Repeat the shock treatment.
In this regard, how do I recirculate my pool?
What setting should my pool pump be on?
The “Filter” setting circulates water through the sand or DE media, then out the filter through the return port to the pool. This is the standard setting for normal pump and filter operation. The “Backwash” setting redirects the flow of water backwards through the filter media to flush out contaminants.
