It was running very slow and my pool kept turning green

The backwash has a twist cap on it so the first year i used it i had to unscrew the cap then fight with the water pouring out at me as i tried to put the backwash hose on it and clamp it down with my own clamp almost an impossible task

This year i went to a pool store and they do not sell a shut off valve for this part of the machine

I then went to a local hep store and it is basically a garden hose shut off valve that costs 5 and i attached that instead of the screw cap and then put the hose onto the shut off valve

When un screwing the top ring the exit pipe is frozen in place so that i have to disconnect the hose every time i want to clean the filter

This is a real hassle to be sure but when i have time ill try to loosen it and put some grease on the ring so it doesnt freeze up

Pop out the cartridge and hose it down

Setup was simple however dont trust the pretaped connections that come in the package they will leak
