Changing Sand in Your Sand Pool Filter
This is a step by step tutorial on the easy way to change the sand in
your filter. 1. Detach all hoses and place them back into the pool so you do not lose any pool water 2. Remove drain plug and the bottom of the filter to remove water 3. Remove clamp holding the multiport valve on your filter 4. Using your Shop Vac (without the shop vac filter) suck all the sand from out of the filter 5. Take Duct Tape and cover the opening of the standpipe coming up from in the filter 6. Put the drain cap back on and Fill the tank half full of water before adding sand 7. Once the tank is half full of water add the correct amount of sand to your filter. 8. Remove the duct tape once this is completed and connect the multiport valves and hoses. Thats It!

Changing Sand in Your Sand Pool Filter
"Your Local Pool Guy" wrote in message
oups.com... This is a step by step tutorial on the easy way to change the sand in your filter. Users should spot that no. 1 implies the filter is located above the waterline. Most installations (especially above- ground pools) place the filter below the waterline. Owners of most poolsl need to block hose outlets and inlets before disconnecting the hoses. Skimmers can be conveniently blocked by any cone-shaped object, which water pressure holds in place. (My blocker is an extra pipe connector inside a plastic bag, which the water fills and thus holds in place.) The filter system inflow pipe can be blocked by a champagne cork, trimmed to fit. Blocks should be prepared and tested for size before any pipe is disconnected. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) 1.
