constant backwashing ?????

[stma]

As always, thanks Al and the famous WaterMom !! Al, I'm here in the Poconos as well and the pollen has been incredibly bad....While the wife is out, I'll grab a pair of her pantyhose and see if that does anything.....like Mom says, i'll probably have to clear it out more often than not...

As fate would have it, i'm reading this AFTER I took the head off the filter...i reached in and stirred things up from the bottom in case I had channeling....Got everything back together and started in BWash mode...All I can say is the Irish Folks would have been proud to see the color of THAT water backwashing down the driveway...!!!

Thanks again guys (and gal) for the input..

I see you're a little south of me. I'm in the far northeast corner and got an email warning earlier today calling for frost warnings in Northern Wayne County. I'm in Southern Wayne....whoopee. Right now the caterpillers are drowning like lemmings.

Used to have a place in Thompson actually, so I know the area you're typing from...Tired of the cold yet Al ???? South Carolina is callin' !!!! Cannot believe a frost warning 3 days before June !!! ???

Sock is working by the way...after 20 minutes, it was "holding" water....sounds like a long nite ahead of me...

Thanks again Al...
