FAQ

Do I need to backwash after vacuuming?

Yes, we do recommend backwashing your filter after vacuuming the pool. Vacuuming pulls dirt, leaves, and fine particles into your filter system. Backwashing helps push all that gunk out of the filter, keeping it clean and working efficiently.

Without backwashing, debris can stay trapped inside and reduce the filter’s performance. Think of it like rinsing out a sponge, you want to keep things flowing freely.

If you’re unsure how to backwash or how often you should do it based on your system, feel free to reach out or ask your technician during your next service. We’re happy to walk you through it.
