I have watch a handful of videos and run across many posts about taking the slide valve out of the housing of the backwash valve. Even ones that look really stuck. But in the end they just keep wiggling and pulling and get it out. But I just can't remove mine. It only goes up a little bit, doesn't wiggle side to side at all. And no matter how hard I pull or even if I push down and then pull up as fast as I can, it never moves more that what seems like the usual distance of normal operation. Is there some kind of slide hammer tool I can use? Some trick I am missing? I really don't want to cut and re pipe in an all new assembly.

The CYA in my pool was at 0 so I talked to a pool service place and was told to put in CYA conditioner in two stages. First on Friday then on Saturday. My filter was running fine at 15 PSI until I brushed the pool twice. I brushed it on Saturday PSI stayed at 15 PSI and then again today. After today's brush the PSI went to 25 and is sitting at 25. I was told not to backwash during this process as the pool will lose CYA that may be in the filter. Is it ok to still run the filter at 25 PSI until I can backwash in about 48 hours or should I backwash now even if I lose some CYA to bring the pressure down? The pool service place I use is closed on Sunday's so I cannot ask him. Thank you for providing this forum.
