All Swimming Pools with a pump and filter should have a back wash system. You must back wash your swimming pool filter when indicated by the pressure gauge on your filter.
ANSWER 2::
Cartridge filters have no means to back wash. These filters must be broken down and cleaned manually.

Here's what I do for my Hayward DE filter:
1. Turn off pump
2. Pump handle on filter
3. Open backflush (drain) valve on filter
4. Let water drain until clear
5. Close valve
6. Turn on pump
7. Recharge DE
Backwashing a swimming pool cleans out the sand filter. It reverses the flow to push all the trappings from the filter out.
Setting the filter to backwash cleans the filter, running your pump to filter cleans the water in the pool. Brushing the walls of your pool cleans the walls of your pool... and so on.
how do i calculate the volumn of backwash in a pool
Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
No you only backwash your pool when your filter pressure on your filter is high 30psi and above on most pools. If you backwash your pool be sure to add two scoops of de to your skimmer. If the presure is still high the u need to clean the filter
If the pool is really dirty then it is best to set the filter to waste.
You add D.E. to a pool when you do a fresh filter clean. You also add D.E. if you have to backwash your pool more than normal. When you backwash the pool it is also dumping the D.E. out so it needs to be replaced to keep the grids covered so the pool can filter properly. Hope it helped
Potatos dont fly when creepers go into the pool. Hope this helps
Depending on the size of the pool and the size of the filter and the amount of times you have to backwash, also if you have had a lot of rain then you may need to backwash more than usual. If you put the pool in and the filter and you know how old the sand is, if you are backwashing more than usual,change the sand. Also before you backwash check the pressure of the water going back into the pool, then backwash check the pressure again the pressure should for any size hayward pump push your hand away if it does not then change your sand.

You can set up a siphon hose if your pool is on a hill, otherwise, buy a pump. Hatawa
There wont be any dirt under the sand. When you vacuum your pool you should do it on filter mode Otherwise you will lose a lot of water for nothing, this would be especially wasteful in the case of a salt water pool. Ofter having vacuumed the pool on filter mode and if the pressure gets too high backwash. after backwash rinse for a minute, then return to filter.
No , if you have a D.E. filter instead of an older cartridge filter than the D.E. can get pretty messy if when you filter clean , and if you have a backwash when you backwash .
You may have to check the seals in the multyport on top of the sand filter.
