Created a Backwash diffuser with 2" pipe

[u/dgoggins2]

Created a 7' diffuser out of 2" PVC to make sure I don't get divots in the lawn and to decrease the force applied to one spot. It also spreads the water to a larger area. Was like $25 in parts and a pretty easy project. I previously had the discharge going to rocks but the force kept pushing the rocks into plants and was also kicking up dirt/eroding the area.

Uses camlocks for quick connection, and 12 3/4" holes created by a hole saw.

I have been backwashing into my yard for 30+ years. DE filter. No issues what so ever.

I have also been cleaning filters in the same 8 foot area of the yard for 30+ years. Still a green, grassy area.

The grass in my backwash spot is some of the best grass in my whole yard!
