 sorry for not being clear
how long has the filter been in operation? how did you perform the backwash? in order for us to help you, we would need to know at least the filter brand name. what's not much came out? water? dirty water? please be specific.
Filter- Emperor Aquatics PSP 10,000 gallon size
It has been running for six weeks.
Backwash- turned off pump, moved handle to backwash, turned pump back on and ran for two minutes, turned off pump, turned Handel to rinse turned pump back on and rinsed for a minute. Turned off and turned Handel to filter.
turned back on.
Water flow was great during backwash, dirty water turned a faint yellowish brown for about 20 seconds then back to clear.
Discharge was a clean fresh/faintly sweet smell.
I will learn how to operate the new orp meter today. Thank You, Lori
