Help with cleaning, backwashing and rinsing the filter

Hey All,

Long time lurker around Reddit and I have Battled the last 2 weeks to clean the filter at my GF's house. During this lockdown period I am staying with her to help around her house and make sure all the maintenence is done.

I have been backwashing and rinsing since the lockdown began. I can see the water level decrease and it seemed to be going well. Yesterday the fountain outlet was dropping in strength after 1 day so i opened the filter and the water didn't drain AT ALL. I moved my hand around and tried to remove any big clumps of algae and move the stones around but it did not drain any of the water.

I have attached a picture of the piping and i'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to backwash and rinse the filter. I'm really worried about running a bearing and seizing the motor and there is absolutely no way to get any spares or a replacement at the moment.

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Small koi with fin damage due to getting stuck in the intake.

Posted: 12 Apr 2020 02:54 PM PDT

I'm trying help a small butterfly koi that got stuck in the pump a few weeks ago. He still swims but will mostly lay on the bottom of the pond floor. He's been hiding under a rock for a few days so when I saw him out today with this slime/film over his fin injuries I pulled him out. He hasn't been swimming lately just sitting at the bottom.

here's the fish

Is he trying to heal? Do I remove the buildup? I've never dealt with an injured koi. What should I do from here? When I've seen him swim it doesn't seem like he has a spine injury.. his fins are just mangled.
