    I will post my results but here is a quick image of my pump in "filter Mode"

    The unit was used when purchased so I had no labelling on top. I looked at a few images online and made this assumption.

    If the pump is on, the guage shows pressure, and water is returning to the pool, I believe you are in "filter" mode.

    Have you ever backwashed?

    What psi is on the guage (pump running)?

    Pump shows a little under 15 when running.
    Yes there is great suction into the pump and pressure out but just wanted to make sure the valve wasn't set to straight thru.


    I have never backwashed since it's only been in use 1 month with new sand.

    Update: Turned pump off and now shows 8... Guess a new guage may be needed.
