Customer Question:
When we go to backwash the system ,it starts to backwash then we lose the water in the basket and we have to shut it down.
Easy Pro Tech Answer:
This sounds like an issue with the pump or plumbing, not the filter? Ie, when the water level drops in the pump basket, that typically indicates a lack of water supply to the pump. The cause of a reduced water supply could be as simple as a low water level in the pond, or a loose lid on the pump, or more involved like a plugged intake screen, or even a leak in the suction plumbing causing air to be sucked into the pump.
Although I cannot say for sure what is causing the issue, I would start with checking the pump's lid and o-ring, the water level in the pond, and then move on to the suction plumbing.
