Where is the waste setting?

1:00 it is! I have a Hayward as well. You may want to label it, or engrave it into the plastic --a single letter should do. N, W, B, R, C for normal, waste, backwash, rinse, closed.

Carl & Bass,

Do either of your filters have the WINTER position between waste and backwash? Mine has 7 settings as follows:
Filter/Normal (12 o'clock)
Waste
Winter
Closed
Backwash (6 o'clock)
Recirculate
Rinse

Just wanted to clarify.
