How often should you backwash your pool?

Q: How often should you backwash your pool?

You should backwash your pool filter every 1–2 weeks , or whenever the pressure gauge rises by 20–25 % above your normal operating level. Backwashing too often wastes water, while skipping it can reduce filtration efficiency and cause cloudy or green water.
