This is a step by step tutorial on the easy way to change the sand in your filter.
- Detach all hoses and place them back into the pool so you do not lose any pool water
- Remove drain plug and the bottom of the filter to remove water
- Remove clamp holding the multiport valve on your filter
- Using your Shop Vac (without the shop vac filter) suck all the sand from out of the filter
- Take Duct Tape and cover the opening of the standpipe coming up from in the filter
- Put the drain cap back on and Fill the tank half full of water before adding sand
- Once the tank is half full of water add the correct amount of sand to your filter.
- Remove the duct tape once this is completed and connect the multiport valves and hoses.
Thats It! You Should never have to move the filter and hurt yourself. Also that pipe and extends into the filter has very fragile plastic laterals on the end so by moving it in the sand it could crack every one. So most importantly try to to move any thing.
