4. The pool filter of claim 3, wherein said first central conduit further comprises a one-way valve allowing water to flow through said plurality of first laterals when said pool filter is operating in said backwash mode but not in said normal mode.
5. The pool filter of claim 4, wherein said second central conduit further comprises a one-way valve allowing water to flow through said plurality of second laterals when said pool filter is operating in said normal mode but not in said backwash mode.
6. The pool filter of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of exit jets further comprises a one-way valve allowing water to flow through said exit jet when pool filter is operating in said backwash mode but not in said normal mode.
7. The pool filter of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of intake inlets further comprises a one-way valve allowing water to flow through said intake inlets when pool filter is operating in said normal mode but not in said backwash mode.
8. The pool filter of claim 1, further comprising a normal inlet configured to feed a quantity of water into said interior of said filter container when operating in normal mode.
9. The pool filter of claim 8, further comprising a normal outlet configured to evacuate said quantity of water from said interior of said filter container after said quantity of water has passed through said filter media when operating in said filtration mode.
10. The pool filter of claim 8, wherein said normal inlet further comprises a venturi pump configured to allow a quantity of air into said normal inlet to combine with said quantity of water.
11. The pool filter of claim 8, wherein said normal inlet further comprises an air compressor configured to inject a quantity of air into said normal inlet to combine with said quantity of water.
12. A pool filter capable of operating in a normal mode and in a backwash mode, comprising:
a. a filter container having a hollow interior and a bottom;
b. said hollow interior being configured to receive a volume of filter media;
c. a plurality of intake inlets located within said hollow interior proximate said bottom;
d. wherein when said pool filter is operating in said normal mode and when said volume of filter media is in position, said plurality of intake inlets draw in water through said filter media;
e. an injector manifold located proximate said bottom;
f. wherein said injector manifold has a plurality of conduits configured to fluidly connect with said bottom of said filter;
g. wherein when said pool filter is operating in said backwash mode, said plurality of conduits expel a fluid upward through said filter media; and
h. wherein each of said plurality of conduits is tilted off of vertical such that said plurality of conduits acting in unison, when said pool filter is operating in said backwash mode, create a swirling flow within said hollow interior.
