Re: What setting should I have my Hayward Sand Filter...
Your pool filter should be set on "filter" for normal vacuuming. If you have a heavy debris load or an extremely dirty pool, you might want to vacuum with the "waste" setting, if your filter has one.

That increase is due to the filter loading up with debris. Is the pool unusually dirty? If there is a lot of dirt and silt in the pool use the "waste" setting on your backwash valve while vacuuming. This allows the water to bypass the filter and go directly out the waste line. Keep an eye on your water level because you will be removing water from the pool and may have to add more.
red valve handles align with flow of water long ways the tail in direction of pipe valves open to open pool generally all Valves open Main drain (floor of pool). Skimmer square hole somewhere on side edge of pool... There could be a third Valve for a seperate Vacuming port (like mine) it can be either its below water line .. On the Round Sand filter theres a Multi port Valve I usually start the Filter in RECIRC mode .. While I net and gather debris then I add floculant leave on recirc two hours . Then Shut ALL down for 12 Hrs while all the algae and debris sinks to bottom . Water will be reasonably clear.. Make sure pools Extra full , And Vacum all on bottom on waste setting
For regular vacumming with these Hayward pool filters, you will use the regular filter setting. If you have a very dirty pool or heavy loads of debris, vacuum on the waste setting so that the debris will bypass the filter and not clog or litter it.
Below is a link to the users manual for these pool filters. They have a helpful troubleshooting guide that you can follow. It should help you correct this issue and have your filter working properly to clean your pool in no time at all!
Try consulting the owners manual for these pool filters. It has a pretty comprehensive troubleshooting guide. It should help you figure out how to set the system up.
First, make sure that you are on the "filter" setting. If you have large debris or an extremely dirty pool, you might want to try the "waste" setting. Also, make sure that your pool filter has been backwashed. You might also want to consider changing your sand if it is only. It could have lost some of its effectiveness. Let me know if you try this and are still having problems.
I would suspect that there is a fault in the filter, a bnreak in the filter elements, a bad alignment, a colapsed support. something that is letting the dirt get back in to the pool
