If you have debris or particles lingering in your pool, but you don’t want it going through your filter, you’ll need to vacuum them out on the waste setting. That means as you vacuum, the dirty water bypasses your filter and is sent directly out your waste port. Once you know how your filter valve works and how to hook up your vacuum to get suction in the line, it’s a simple process that’ll remove particles fast. So here’s a quick tutorial on how to vacuum a pool to waste with a sand filter.
