Best Answer

To bypass a non functioning pool filter, or to keep your pool filter in pristine condition, first you need to back wash the pool. Once the pool has been back washed, you will need a leaf skimmer, a telescoping pole, a tile brush, a pumice stone, an algae brush, and a pool vacuum.

What setting do you turn a hayward sand filer series 200 too when vacuuming?

You have two options when vacuuming a pool. If it a normal weekly vacuume you will set your filter valve to the filter position. This will send the water through the filter and back to the pool. Once your done vacuuming, you then backwash and rinse the filter. A good ratio is 3 min to back wash and 30 seconds to rinse. If your pool is extremely dirty like at the begining of the year, You can sometimes set the filter to the waste position. This will bypass the filter and send the water down the backwash line. This lowers the water in the pool. If your pool is extremely dirty and you try to vacuum with it set to filter, the filter will not catch all the dirt and some will end up back in the pool in the form of dirty or cloudy water. As a pool profesional I always strived for clear water first. You can't clean what you can't see.

How do I vacuum my swimming pool and bypass the filter?

A D.E filter gives you an extremely consistent, and highly effective filtration. However, in certain situations it is better to bypass the filter. Such as the event of an extreme algae bloom. Superchlorination kills the algae, flocculant will coagulate the deader algae and make it settle to the bottom. But if you pass that muck through your filter its not only bad for your filter. But it will make you lose your attitude also. The easiest solution is to add a three way valve between the pump and the filter. Which will allow you vacuum without bogging down the filter.

How often do you change the pool filter?

You don't have to change the pool filter for years Unless it gets damaged. You do however have to clean the pool filter whenever the presure leading to the filter gets too high. This indicates a dirty filter that is not allowing water to get through effectively.
