Why would water back up into my washer while my water filtration system is rejuvinating?
The water system guy increased the pump presure of my well a couple weeks ago stating that my water filtration system was not working properly since pump was set at 20/40 psi? He increased it to 40/60 psi. Now when the water filtration system rejuvenates, water backs up into my washer tub. I am also on a septic too but this is clear water and does not smell, nor did this happen prior to him changing this dial on my well pump. What is wrong here? I have been in this house for 10 years plus had the water filtration system for 9 years. He has been the same water guy who has been to my house each year to change my filters the whole time. But since I have a high content of iron in my water, he has to rebuild the heads on my filtration system each year. He said increasing the pressure of my well pump would stop this problem. Now I have a new one and he is saying it’s my septic. Someone please help?

when was the last time your holding tank was cleaned?
not that i think that is the problem if it was everything would be backing up or you would have a new pond forming on your lawn.
as for the real problem, is this water system self cleaning
r’s has an auto cycle that backwashes the system maybe it’s just not draining properly (at first i thought it was screwed till i found out it was made that way)
From my experiences with my washer …the return of water is usually due to weakness of the machine valve (it is the part that controls the return of water into the washer) .. I usually need to change it every two or three years for the same problem ….
