----with all the backwashing, i could stand to add some water. can i add now or do i need try and hold off until i get the water clear?
thanks.
If you are still getting good flow through the filter, backwashing can probably wait. The filter will be a little better at getting small stuff out of the water when it's a little dirty. No reason not to add water unless your fill water has problems. Just be aware that your chemistry will change when you add, and keep an eye on it.
