Sherra, You should be able to vacuum to waste instead of vacuuming and then backwashing. Same end result.

I feel like I'd be wasting way too much water that way though...it takes me 15-20 minutes to vacuum (I go very slowly - I'm a perfectionist about it) as opposed to backwashing until the water runs clear (usually 90-120 seconds) then rinsing. and
