Thank you. I'm a 65 year old women who has been maintaining DE pools since I was 11 years old. At 60 I purchased a home with a sand filter and have had a pool service for the last 5 years. I'm tired of paying for sub par service. I have been reluctant to service my own pool due to the sand filter which looks totally different than all the "earth" filters I've maintained. This video has helped give me the confidence to maintain the pool myself. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for explaining everything to me. I was fixing to jest drain and take my pool down. My husband will not do the upkeep anymore. It turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. 60 years old. I'm not a quitter ! 😂😂
I've been trying to clean my pool for the longest as well as understanding how the valves worked. Thanks to you now I have the information. May the Lord Almighty God continue to bless your business for ever and ever.
I have been trying to find out how to operate the sand filter with no good results until I came across your video, you went from A-Z over each operation. Thanks
A massive thanks Mark from Queensland Australia. your videos are extremely helpful and concise, pool ownership can quickly go from a dream to a nightmare but feeling more confident with my pool care now thanks to this channel. Cheers ☺️
Very helpful video- thanks. Moved to our home w/ inground pool 16 years ago, and between this and another of your videos I've learned how many things I've been doing wrong, or the hard way.
That tip about starting the pump at the same time you crack the skimmer/drain line was gold for me. I was having trouble to get it primed and now what I do is a) Open the Skimmer Line. b) put a hose in the basket and run it for a good long while c) close skimmer line valve d) when basket fills up with water I e ) Turn on pump and crack the skimmer valve at the same time. VOILA!
I have been a certified TPO LA COUNTY POOL operator for 30 years. Before you completely fill your pool with water add your sodium carbonate ( baking soda) it will keep your PH and total alkalinity form making drastic changes and help stabilize your pool water keeping your pool water "balanced" thus using less chemicals. Water balance includes temperature, PH, total alkalinity, total calcium hardness an total dissolved solids. It has nothing to do with sanitation which is what diclor or triclor (chlorine) is for. Acid is used to keep the ph down because when you add chlorine it raises ph because it is an alkalinity factor. Chlorine will do less sanitizing when your pool water is over 90 degrees. That's why spas and hot tubes use bromine which is much stronger and harsher sanitizer.
Excellent explanation, I recently got a new pool that came with a sand filter and didn't really understand the instructions, but this made everything clear. I got one question if I can ask - is it needed to replace the sand in the filter and when? Nvm, just saw that you have a video for that as well. 😅 Thanks for that as well.
Hi, thanks so much. Watching your video is so very helpful. One question... vacuum cleaning in the filter position would mean to shut down the floor drainage in order to have stronger suction, right? But what about the jets. They are on in filter mode and whirl up the clouds I actually want to vacuum. Would it be an idea to 1/2 close the wall valve, or even 3/4?
@@katrinweise8595 Yes, when vacuuming close the drain down for more suction but leave your return jets open. Do not close down the jets, however you can redirect them when vacuuming. Thanks for watching.
I have a 1000 gallon pond with a water fall and a filter. The filter has some kind of pellets in the bottom and some spongy looking stuff on top. I back flush the filter straight to the lawn once a day for about a minute and the water is clear. But the pond has green moss/algae that grows in it. The water really looks bad. I use no chemicals. Don't have fish or plants yet. I was thinking about getting a DE Filter. What do you think?
@@jaygossage2380 The filter you have should be fine, as long as it is size properly with the pond. A pond will get algae regardless of filter you have. If you end up with plants and fish, having algae is normal. You can use pond dyes to help keep the algae under control, there are also certain fish that can help as well. Thanks for watching.
My 2 cents; I use the "close" position while servicing my pump as the filter and the pump are located below the water's level and if not in "close" the water leaks from the filter to the pump
Yes, here are two links for the new label. If your valve is on top of the filter it will be the first link. If your valve is on the side of the filter it will be the second link.

Hey mark the Best video and swimming pool trainers I have ever watched very helpful and understandable kudos to you, am going to subscribe to your channel 👍👍
I don’t have any videos pertaining to salt water pools at this time, however the procedure for open and closing the pool is pretty much the same. I have made videos on opening and closing above ground and inground pools. Thanks for watching.
@HallmarkPoolSupplies Mark, I just realized that when the company closed my pool for the winter, he left the control on CLOSED position. Is that going to cause a problem?
No, you will be fine. In the winter position the diverter inside the valve is raised, allowing the water to drain out of the valve much easier. In the closed position water will eventually drain but takes a little longer. Closed is used more for servicing the system. Never run the pump in the closed or winter positions.
@@CarmineMileo I have seen systems without a valve on the drain line or the skimmer line or both. It is nice to have a valve on both lines so you can regulate the suction, especially when you are vacuuming the pool. If you don’t have a valve you can always add one. Thanks for watching.

Mark, quick question about pump operation. I have a VS Hayward pump. I usually run it at night 8 -12 at 100% speed then the next 4 hours at 85%... can I drop it lower or is that ok the way I have it? Thanks!
When changing settings on the multiport valve, are you supposed to wait before turning on the pump? I have a brand new Hayward filter and pump, I’m getting sand coming out of the backwash hose and a tiny bit in the pool, I have already emptied the sand out of the filter, inspected the laterals and pipe (they are perfect) and put the same sand back in. But I’m still getting a small amount of sand in the sight glass on backwash and in the pool. It’s a very small amount, but it’s there.
Always turn off the pump before rotating the handle. Make sure that the sand is # 20 silica filter sand and that you put the right amount of sand in the filter. If you put too much sand in the filter it will eventually self level. Keep an eye on the filter and if you keep getting sand in the pool or it gets worse than you will have to inspect the laterals in the filter. Thanks for watching.
I have a leak at the bottom of the tank coming from the plug to drain the sand. Which position should I place the system in to drain the water from the tank so I can seal around the plug from the outside without having to drain all the sand?
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Thank you! That’s what I thought, but first time pool owner here and didn’t want to cause a bigger issue if it was more involved than that. Your videos have been SO informative for me!
@@pataurhoads1523 Poolife is a good brand, there are many out there. Take a sample of your pool water to your local pool store and have it tested. Then you can get the proper chemicals to treat your pool.
@@ADiaz.38 You can bleed the air from the filter at anytime. When you are done backwashing or rinsing the system you can bleed the air from the filter but it is not necessary. In fact some filter systems do not even have an air relief valve (like the one in the video). Thanks for watching.
@@maryjotrainerpazak7623 The average filter system operates from 10 psi to 25 psi, however, operating pressures for all filter systems will vary. There are several different things to take into account, for example, the size of the pump, the number of returns in the pool and additional equipment on the system, just to name a few. Also, make sure that the pressure gauge is working properly. When the system is off the gauge should read zero. If the gauge is sticking then it may be reading off, if this happens you can replace the gauge. Thanks for watching.
@@jhoth405 If the valve is running properly and there are no leaks you may be fine. Always turn off the pump when changing positions, if not you can damage the valve. Thanks for watching.
I just installed a new filter in my 24ft above ground. When I remove the basket from the skimmer my pressure drops to a lite stream from my outlet. I tried to backwash and the stream is very mild and previously it would spray out 10 ft now it barely dribbles. I have no leaks and no apparent air leaks. Is it because my sand is new and clean and doesn’t have enough pressure? I’m really at a loss for what’s going on. I’ve owned this for 9 years never had much of an issue. Thanks!
I installed a 3800 gal. Above ground bestway pool. We removed the one it came with and used one we found in a storage using auction. We didn't install the sand tank. Are we still able to install the sand tank? should I be worried about old sand? All we are doing is circulating the water we probably need the sand pump
When you backwash or rinse the filter the sight glass shows the condition of the water as it leaves the filter. Water is also in the sight glass when you are in the waste position. Thanks for watching.
@@meganearle8886 Being that your pool is new, this sand could be from the construction of the pool. Keep an eye on it, if you clean the pool and the sand continues or gets worse then you may have to check the laterals inside the filter. Thanks for watching.
What if i do the back wash and rinse and filter but like a day or 2 later the pressure that comes back in the pool lessens and its not high pressure water coming out im having to backwash 2 times a week
I have a question regarding the filter mode of my pool. When I turn on the filter mode, the water starts flowing out onto the street. Should I close the pipe that I use for draining the pool? I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
If you have water going out the backwash line while in the filter position you need to check your multiport valve. If you have a valve on your backwash line you can close but you still would want to have the valve repaired. I have made videos on how to repair a multiport. What brand filter do you have?
Live up in Canada have a beltway pool from Costco the sand filter I don't like the Philips screws to tight it up or to unscrew it my filter is not what you have in video. And the little filter basket have issue with water rushing out when took it off still new at this it's above ground rectangle shape pool, has the sand filter is orange color. Have also need to hook up a heater the solar heater system such doesn't warm it at all.
When the pool is in waste, backwash or rinse position I open the valve to the street every time. Do I still need to open the street valve for all three of those positions?
I have sand filter that was always at 6p.s.i. after having a static test done searching for a leak it now runs at 20 psi. No one can tell me why. I have done a few backwash and still at 20 psi. Any ideas?
