Reduction of Backwash water loss ideas.

You may want to just switch over to a cartridge filter. It takes a lot less water to periodically rinse/clean the filter .

Yep, exactly what I was going to suggest. Not a convenient (IMHO) but a better solution for you I think.

I had one in the past on an above ground pool, and didn't care much for it. I have a pretty significant dirt and debris load from surrounding farmland and woods that I'm afraid would be pretty annoying based on my past experience with a cartridge. It may have been that I had more dirt going into the previous pool than I was aware of, but I never got the life out of them that I was told to expect, and always seemed to be cleaning the cartridge.
