Sometimes called a push-pull valve or slide valve, backwash valves are a necessary part of home swimming pool maintenance. When a pool’s pressure gauge reads above its start-up pressure, or when the water flow becomes significantly reduced, it is necessary for a functional pool backwash valve to vacuum out the water.
Swimming pool backwash valves are generally fitted on the bulkheads of the pool’s filter. This location allows them to most effectively keep the pool water clean and well-maintained. When the water becomes restricted, the pool filter and backwash valve work together to get the water running freely again, bringing a fresh supply to the swimming environment.
If your pool is suffering from increased episodes of clogged drains and poor water movement, it may be time for you to get a backwash valve replacement.
