Good Day,
I am new here and hope to get some assistance: We have Davis and Shirtliff sand filter and pump:
On the gauge of the filter there is back wash, rinse, close etc.. except vacuum i position the gauge at filter and tried vacuuming but there is hardly any pressure to vacuum:
We have 4 valves going into the wall and fifth one is for the waste. Please advise which valve should be closed and which one should be open while vacuuming. Is it possible to use the skimmers to attach the vacuum hose to vacuum??
Thanks

If you have more than one skimmer, close off the valves to all the skimmers except the one you hook up the vacuum hose to. Use the skimmer closest to the pump. Try to net out most of the leaves first as too many leaves may cause a clog. Make sure you empty all the skimmer baskets and the basket at the pump.

Automatic pool cleaners perform on a identical concept to the personally operated edition, except they perform on mains power and they do the job much quicker and more scrupulously.

If closing the other skimmer lines doesn't help enough, try backwashing first. You can also vacuum to "Waste" but you will need to replace the water and re-adjust the chemicals when you are done. This is not the best solution but it will get things cleaned up.

Well, I am agree with cpo2go, try backwashing.The real backwashing procedure should be accomplished when the functional stress of your program has improved. The time frame that you backwash for is determined by how filthy the narrow is.
