I hope someone here can help me. When "winterizing" a sand filter, should
the handle be left in the "backwash" or "winterize" position? I would have
thought "winterize" was the obvious answer but my pool guy left it on
backwash. Also, should the pressure guage be taken off?
Thanks in advance!

I have a hayward sand filter. The instructions say to put the
handle half way between filter and waste for winter. Remove the
guage and put it where it won't freeze.
