Fantastic video! I'm 81 years old and our filter tank is in a tight enclosure, so I can't do it myself, but at least I know the procedure now and can check to make sure the pool service technician is doing it right. Thanks so much for posting this video.

@leeorphan 11 месяцев назад

Great Video. I just finished the job. My filter is 30 years old and I am pretty sure the sand had never been replaced, we have owned the pool for 21 years. The bottom half below the laterals was like concrete. My first indication that this was the case was last winter when I drained the filter, the water flow was very slow..... It was a turd to dig the old sand out as it was so hard, vacuumed the first half down to the laterals, removed them, then dug out the rest with a strong scoop, Our pool never cleared this year for the first time, and that was what prompted the mission. $ 50 for the sand. I found that the top of the backwash system was a bit cracked so I opted to replace the laterals/pipe for $200. All other parta were fine.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 2 года назад

It's recommended to change sand in chlorine pools about every 2 to 4 years. The S244T takes 300 lbs. of sand.

Is the S210T appropriate size sand filter in your opinion for this same size pool as mine (except has 2 skimmers) and was thinking of using glass media instead of sand to get closer to the filter micron level of his DE, if so do you recommend a certain brand of glass media and it true they are maintenance free of is there anything I am missing in maintaining glass media?

Hi Mark. My name is Rick from Ontario, Canada. I just found you about two weeks ago. Your videos and your commentary are awesome. I've had my inground pool for 16 years. I'm do to take out my sand in May. I surehope my Hayward Sand filter has the cap where you can take out the drain insert. Quick question, once you have the old sand out of the filter, where is it best to discard it? Is the sand considered dangerous? Should I wear a mask and gloves? Is the dust hazardous when putting fresh sand back into your filter? Thanks so much for your tutorials. Cheers Mark!!

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 8 месяцев назад

The sand in the filter is not dangerous and you will be fine when changing the sand. Most people will spread the sand on the ground in an inconspicuous place. Thanks for watching.

Hi mark thanks for your fantastic videos. I recently re-sanded my 50kg filter with grade 1 glass media. My filter is a particularly old one. initially the results were fantastic. But now the filter is not as effective.. I've learned that I needed to add a higher grade of glass or pea gravel first to prevent the laterals from clogging. I was wondering if you had any recommendation or advice on how much pea gravel or higher grade media I should put in. Based on a 50kg filter. Thanks again

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Год назад

I like using sand, it is more effective in filtering the water because it is much finer than the glass. Thanks for watching.

@craigevans7386 Год назад

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies thanks I appreciate that. I did have sand and it was great.. the glass I have is very fine but I know now that I need a more corse one at the base for the laterals.. was just trying to pull of any experience about what ratios I should use to remedy my current problem. Eg 1 part course to 3 parts fine at the on top. Thanks again for your fast response

@Bob-se1si Месяц назад

Question Mark: In the attached video I notice the couplers are positioned away from the filter by several inches with the actual attachment to the filter being a separate join with threads. My installer originally glued and screwed the pipe directly to the tank. Assuming that my install had some flaws which I do not want to repeat, what is the best method of allowing the variable valve to be removed and separated ( I know this is necessary for maintenance)? Can you attach the union (with its own disconnect directly to the variable valve or should it be as your set up showed, attached several inches from the variable valve? Whichever it is, what is the rationale for that? By, the way, a very detailed and easy to uderstand video! Bob

Unions can be used anywhere as long as you can tighten or open them. I have the unions out in the open so it is easier to get to. Thanks for watching.

The sticker on the side of my filter has come off and blown away with the wind, how do I determine which model filter I have? I have a 22,000 gallon pool and I guess the filter stands 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 9 месяцев назад

What is the name or model of the valve on your filter? Does your valve sit on top of the filter or to the side? If it is Hayward or Pentair you can measure the diameter of the filter tank, this will tell me the model and size that you have. Thanks for watching.

@pujo28 22 дня назад

So instead of vacuuming the sand out, you flush it out of the drain with water? Most videos is see ppl using a vacuum. Thanks

@garygordrum Месяц назад

It seems no matter how much rinsing one is doing, there remains scripts of sand on the ball and socket joint. Do small abrasions on the ball and Joint cause damage

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Месяц назад

You should be fine, however make sure that the ball joints are nice and tight and not loose. If the ball joints have gaps or they are loose then sand can get through. There will come a time that you will have to replace the lateral assembly. Thanks for watching.

Should you add additional water before putting the multi-port valve on?

Does the Pro Series 310t have the ability to drain sand and water through the plug on the bottom once you remove that little basket piece? This video was very informational, but before I start this job I want to make sure I can drain the sand out like the video rather than shop vac it out. Thanks.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 11 месяцев назад

Yes, if your filter is 2006 forward. One way to tell is if your drain cap is star shaped then yes, if your drain cap is round then no. Thanks for watching.

@carolecaffey3607 2 года назад

Hi. How would I empty the sand on a S200 side mount filter? Would I have to unscrew all the bolts around the Filter Head and lift ten half dome or just take off the Access Cover? Thanks for the help.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 2 года назад

On the S200 filter you can empty the tank either way. I prefer going through the top, its easier and faster and you don’t have to mess with the o-ring or the bolts.

@aliaga_pablo738 2 года назад

Thanks Mark. I finally disassembled the whole top access cover unbolting everything since the top diffuser was stuck and I didn't want to force it. I've owned the house 34 years and never changed the sand and everything was rock solid with scale!!! I discovered that underneath the sand there were pebbles covering the laterals up to the bottom Internal Elbow Pipe and upwards from there, the sand. Is that an ok arrangement and can I replicate this on my sand change?

GARY here, After installing a new diverter valve insert I’m noticing the returns at the end of the pool have poor pressure but the side return for the cleaner has great pressure what’s wrong

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Год назад

The return closest to the system will have more pressure than the one that is further away. You can change the return inlet with a smaller eye ball this will give you more pressure, it will also help to make the flow in the returns even out. If you have any questions feel free to contact me I will be glad to help.

@Siwashable Год назад

Will old sand that needs to be replaced affect the flow of water at your pump? My Pentair pump is not drawing water well and isn't priming. The return water is weak, so the jets are barely pushing water back to the pool. I have had a lot of issues with this darn pool the past two years with leaks along lines that were crushed. I am hoping now that it is just old sand that needs replacing - it is about 7 years old now...

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Год назад

Yes, the sand on average should be replaced about every 3 to 5 years.

@LuisMartinez-bw6gt 3 года назад

When can you tell when sand needs to be changed out for new sand?

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 3 года назад

Depending on the chemicals, we recommended changing sand every 2-3 years. If you find that you’re having to put more chemicals in a pool to keep it clear, that is a sign that you need to change sand.

My local pool store told me that the old sand will actually clean better than the new sand. Is this true and if so for how long?

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 2 года назад

Slightly dirtier sand can filter finer microns. Depending upon what chemicals are used, how well the pool is maintained, and usage level will determine how often sand is needed to be changed. If you are have a difficult time maintaining a clear pool and having to backwash more frequently than normal, that is a indicator sand may need to be changed.
