The Valve Body has a seal which can be replaced and also allow debris to pass directly back to the pool. Replace sand when the rough edges of the sand become smooth & don’t “grab” debris.
This video was so helpful! My dad used to always take care of our pool and he passed away and left me in charge! come to find out when I opened the pool this year the stand pipe for the laterals was broken, watched this video a couple times, got my confidence up and did the whole repair myself! Thanks for sharing:)
I’m glad it helped. Sorry about your dad passing away. Have a good one 😁👍
I have the same problem and this video helped me too
my local pool store gave me an estimate of 'around $600' to change out the sand. That didn't include the price of the sand or a replacement O-ring. Your video was simple to follow so I'll do it myself this weekend. Thank you sir for a job well done!
Its soo easy. Just did mine.
Awesome. Thank you for the feedback.
@David Flowers. I would not give that pool store another dime for anything. That is ridiculous. My store quoted my $1000 to install a whole new one unit with sand.
How many sand bag you used
We charge $1080 CAD 😂
Replacing my sand and ur video came up. Very simple to follow. From this 72 year old man,,,, Thanks.🙂
Can't even describe how much confidence this video gives me. Thanks for a great DIY video.
This is one of the best how to videos I have seen! Sincerely sir, thank you.
Thanks for this very informative video. My pool guy said he'll charge me $350 so, thanks to you, looks like I'll save about $250! The use of a shop vac to remove enough sand before dumping out the rest is a great tip for me because I thought I was going to have to hire a young, STRONG handyman to tip the cannister over to remove the 300 pounds of sand. (I'm 67, BTW, so my heavy-hefting days are far behind in the rearview mirror!)
Straight and to the point. Thanks very helpful
5 years ago and still very helpful. Used your vid today for my filter. Thanks brotha!!!
Wow my husband is a pool tec and now I understand him more! He does everything we own a pool co for 17 yrs
Thank you so much for this video! I was quoted quite a large amount to change my laterals and labor. Cost me less then half the amount to do it myself and your video helped me do it! Minus the almost cutting off a finger 😂 thanks for the video!!!
Most competent people can assemble a union so it won't leak. Alignment and eliminating pipe strain will work wonders. They are, after all, equipped with an o-ring seal. The reason why you need to change the sand every 3-5 years is that the sharp edges of the sand grains will wear down over time and reduce or eliminate the filtering efficiency. This leads to cloudy water that will not seem to clear up no matter how long you run the pump and exorbitant chemical use.
100% true. 👍😁
Doing mine this weekend. The laterals was the only thing I was worried about but after watching this, will be a piece of cake. Thanks
Old pool company I used to work for overcharged more than the damn moving companies did! I would go back to their houses after hours and help them with much cheaper (and just as effective) options. From plugging up skimmer pinhole leaks to doing sand changes myself for about $80-100 instead of $600+ on the job. I don't like ripping folks off, especially when I know times are tough. I've come back to this video multiple times for a refresher since I still help some folks with their pools. Glad it's still up.
Very interesting and informative. Been having trouble with the filter and this explains why. I've been working with original sand from many, many years ago. Time for a change!
Terrific videos that will save me about $300. Two things I might do differently is to replace the O-ring under the valve and to use a union joint on the lines to/from the filter. They are made for this kind of occasional disconnect/reconnect.
👍😁
Thank you very much for this so informative video to the point that made me go and buy the filtering assembly and open the sand filter and do the job so professionally not like before !! Thanks a lot again
Thank you for ALL of your advice. Watching your video made it easy for us to do this for the first time... Your Video made it all the way to the Philippines ....
Thank you for the step by step instructions! Now all I need is my husband to be as pleasant as you were when he changes our filter later today 😁
Thank you. I hope he is in good spirits too.. 😀 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
thats funny
Hah! That’s hilarious!
Indeed, he was quite calm and polite.
Great reminder for us who often get upset and don’t realize the effect on others.
@@stevebutler812 Well said...we need those reminders in today's world. People get wayyyy too mad at each other quickly and over (sometimes) stupid things! My great grandma 👵 was the sweetest most kind lady EVER so when someone is pushing me to my limits I tend to say to myself "would you speak to Grandma Edie that way?" 🤣😂 Of course I wouldn't so that usually works for me!
Well done Brother! Short, simple, and Spot on!👊Im a do it yourself-er and was a little shocked at the price of the pool sand. Thank you!
Outstanding video. Very informative and helpful in avoiding pitfalls
Thank you so much for your simple, but very efficient way to change the sand in my recently acquired 30 year old pool that came with my house. It was super easy to do.
Regarding saving time: unions just make sense. I've had unions on mine for 10 years and they have yet to leak. Original o-rings. I use a little dab of Magic Lube.
Good explanation. Thanks brother
You do a great job explaining and demonstrating this intimidating job.
😁👍 thanks.
I am about to have to move all of my pool lines and pump to a shed away from my patio. I was worried about moving the filter but this gave me the information I need to complete the job. Thanks for the video.
A Southern Boy with a DULL Knife! Breaks my Heart........
Lol. Hannah was glad it was a bit on the dull side haha.
Best, most direct and clear of any video on any process I have viewed on any project. Thanks...
Thank You, It was a fun video to make with my daughter
Wanted a pic inside after filling the sand to see how high it was. Video was good. Thanks
Thank you your video was very helpful. Ended up saving me close to $400. Much better in my pocket then the pool store service charge.
Worked great for me, especially the water in before the sand. Thanks.
Perfect post! Exactly what I needed and got me ready for the summer! Thank you!
Wow I’ve never seen this done before. Thank you for the tips.
I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.. Share this video with someone that owns a pool.. Have a great weekend
My filter has the 2 lines goin in the side of it. I’m sure replacin the sand in mine will be done the same way as yours. I just thought that I would throw in the differences in the lines FYI for anyone w/the same line arrangement as mine . Thank You Much For The Tutorial !!!😜!!!
Great video, thanks for the tips
Thanks! Your video helped so much! Going to watch more of them.
Thank you
followed this yesterday and changed the sand no problem. amazing how the wet/dry vac sucks up that sand! unfortunately the PSI is still close to 30 on my pool so i'm gonna get another gauge, mine might be shot. Pool clears up quicker now though!
Awesome. Glad everything worked out for ya. And those gauges don’t last long at all.
Explained more clear than a crystal clear pool, you da man thanks!!!!!!
😁👍 I appreciate that
Love the nonchalant comment on the black widdows!!! haha keep er coming
😁
Thanks! I’m ready to change the sand, good video.
Thanks so much for sharing. Im changing my sand today!! thanks again
Thanks! Good video which answers some of the problems I have been having!
I'm here to learn how to do this so i can do my own pool company.
Thank you.
👍😁
Good tips on replacing sand. I'm sure I broke my laterals doing it the wrong way "not adding water, prior to adding sand". Oh well!
Thank you so much for this video!! This was so helpful!!! God bless you guys!!!
Excellent video and streets ahead of similar ones on the same subject.
I’ve been terrified to do this, this is so so helpful! Thank you!!
Doing this in the next few days. Great video. Thank you
Much appreciated, sir. This helps us decide whether or not to do this ourselves or have the pool store come out.
Thank you u really helped me. Gotta admit I do love unions though. I havent had a problem with them leaking yet.
You made it easy. i am changing 1st time Thanks a Lot God Bless You
Dude!!! What a great DIY video you did here!!!
I just wanted to say this has been the the best video I have watched on TH-cam that was so descriptive , extremely informative. I have subscribed and looking forward to your other videos. Thank you very much
Thanks for the the feedback. I’m glad it helped ya. Have a great Sunday
Very helpful. Thank you so much for posting!
I love it! The reaction when he almost cut her… laughter 😂😂😂
😁👍 we still laugh about that too.
Outstanding
Great job making this simple and quick
Thanks
Good video. Had a little trouble hearing you, but thanks for posting.
Thanks foe the video! Just swapped it out easily.
You most definitely want to install unions on the multiport valve just make sure they are quality high temp unions. And you want to suck all the sand out with the vac DO NOT TILT THE FILTER OVER you could crack the base that the filter sits on then you’re going to have to replace that too. But this is a very easy process and it will save you money.
Thank you sir! Great video!
Thank you!
Perfect step by step. Thank you !!
😁👍
Doing mine next week. Thanks for the heads up!
👍😁
A lot of hard work. Good job. My father had one of these filters but he changed out to a salt water system.
My neighbor has a salt water system. 👍😀 thanks for watching and for commenting
Thank you for the informative video!
Yours looks much better than my old filter. I try to rinse it and add sand. I need to do this.
Yeah. It had been 4 years since it had the sand replaced. I could tell last year it was getting close to needing changed. It’s not a hard job. It’s intimidating if you’ve never did it before.
thanks
No problem 😁👍
Thanks for the help
Thanks mate, you were big help!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Just put a red plastic cup to cover the hole
You can flip the drain cap around and remove the insert to let the sand out of the drain hole. Then you don't have to move the tank.
Thanks for sharing!! Now I can get rid of my pool guy.
Thanks for the video really help me out!!
Glad to hear it! 😁👍
Unions all day baby. Great video tho. Very helpful
Thank you this is a very good video
Thank you ...
Thank you sir
Thanks makes it easier to do
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for video very helpful!
Thanks a bunch
Forgot about the duct tape over the pipe thanks brotha good video
You could also use a cup!
Thank you for wonderful video! You made it very easy to do!
Thanks.
I like how you went to the flex hose. I didn't think of that.
Hey Mike it’s probably the best decision I’ve made all year on the pool. 😁👍
@@VansWorld Thanks for the tip! My filter is hard piped with no unions. I will be going to the flex when I change the sand.
Hell of a job!!
how manny bags of sand to used
Depends on what size your filter is ours is a 18 it uses 150Lbs or 3 bags.
Good video but a little added insurance on protecting the laterals, ( according to the mfg) is filling up the tank 1/2 way with water so the sand will settle softly into the bottom of tank. Good job tho!
Thanks. I filled it up with water half way before adding the sand. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting 😁👍 have a great week 😁👍
Thanks very much, very helpful and informative video
Thank you for the awesome feedback. I hope your having a great weekend 👍😁
Thanks for the video it helped a lot with the pool filter 👍
My pleasure 😃👍
Good and to the point,thank you
Thank you. Glad it helped ya
That’s funny you said that about the black widows cause thats exactly what I got into when I did mine...
Oh yeah man. Those black widows like moisture. Glad you didn’t get bit. 😁👍. Thank you for commenting and for watching
Thank you for the help!
No problem. I’m glad the video helped ya
When twisting off the black nut from the bottom, flip it over and use the and as a tool to twist out the inside so you don’t have to flip this over at all. Sand will come out.
thanks!!!
Video seems helpful.
