Backwashing A Seawater Swimming Pool
by Donald
Thanks Donald Thanks for you question Donald I am personally not familiar with backwashing from a water storage tank, although due to my ongoing research and talking to many people in the pool business, I've heard the idea has been spreading. I believe many good products are actually in Australia. A filter needs alot of pressure to move the sand and DE around, especially when backwashing. Here are some sites for you to look over: http://www.backwashrecyclersaust.com.au/the_tank.html http://www.spasavic.com.au/water-neutral-pool Some people like the idea of having water storage tanks plumbed into their pools to backwash. Many have these tanks filled with rain water. When it comes time to backwash they simply turn a couple of valves and backwash with the collected rain water instead of the pool water. It would save on water because by doing this, you're using water that's already available instead of using pool water, then topping off the pool. It's an interesting concept and I think it's worthy to look into. If you have success in doing this or have any other information you can add, please feel free to contact me again. Hope those links help and thanks for stopping by. Robert |
