Backwashing, Hmm I haven't been doing that? When should I do that? And am I supposed to change DE and all that when I backwash? See I told you i'm new at this. Don't really knwo what i should be doing.

Thank You,
Oscar

I'm assuming you have a DE filter. You should backwash it when your filter pressure rises 8-10 psi over the "clean" pressure, or when you notice reduced flow from your returns. The backwash process will wash the DE out, so you'll have to add more...I'll let the DE filter people advise you on how much DE to add.
