How To Change The Pool Filter Sand

[mikecadney]

Thanks, I didn't know I had to half fill the filter with water. Saved me another trip to the pool store. Cheers from Canada.

Your sand doesn't need to be replaced. I reused the old sand, I created a little sluice box with my wagon and filled it with water and all the contamination floated to the top, I just tipped it and drained it off, it took about 4 times and about 15 min. Then I scooped the sand back in. Works like a charm.

Today i did the sand thing. Thank you for the tutorial.
Years ago i tried it in the midle of wnter. Scooping freezing cold water was not fun. Then i ended up breaking one of the fingers and had to purchase a replacement.

Yout tutorial became handy. The scooping of dirty water and sand using cup was back breaking.

Awesome video! I needed your guidance to change my old sand. This is a perfect video for that.

Get activated glass media. Superior to sand in every way though it will cost about $50 more. Finer filtration, less back pressure and therefore lower electricity costs for the pump, indefinite lifespan, less backwashing and therefore lower water costs, no channelling inside the filter. You’ll get the $50 back in no time and much better pool water immediately. I’ve had the stuff for 6 years and it’s fantastic. Way better than the sand it replaced.

Very informative and simply presented. Thank you.

I saw in another video that it helps to put screws back in the threaded holes otherwise the threaded holes will be filled with the sand. It can prevent the threads to be damaged. I changed my sand today and forgot to do it. But I strong force of water removed the sand from the threaded holes. I used a dry/wet vacuum cleaner to remove the sand from the filter. I removed most of it by hand first
