Poolside Repair: How To Install A D.E. Filter

[@teacherlynn671]

WOW!! You guys must rate having Dave from Swimming Pool Tips give a comment. The only thing I would say is that the dauber for the glue and primer are sized for the size pipe you use. In your case they are too small for 2” pipe and I would not be afraid to coat the whole inside of the fitting and the whole area of the pipe that will be used. Good call with the unions in thinking ahead. There are set times for the glue depending on what type you are using slow set or fast set before you get it wet. But yeah, good job-good video. Now come and do mine please. I need someone real bad. When glueing do pipe first, then fitting, then re-do pipe and put together.

What is the brand and make of your PVC cutter?

[@derekjp6043]

What size is that pipe cutter, thank you.

Hi do you really need the valves for that particular filter

[@Inyopools]

You do need a valve for a DE filter. It can be the multiport style or the push/pull type valve.

[@Heysahs007]

Good job guys.

[@Inyopools]

Thank you.

You guys in Florida with those single bullet filters - "Oh, the Humanity." What makes this conversion harder is that the Inlet and Outlets are reversed on a Cartridge and DE Filter. Good show!

[@Inyopools]

We must play the hand we are dealt and unfortunately, Florida's deck is stacked with single bullet filters. What makes it even harder was that this thing was bolted to the concrete pad. Ughhh!

[@mattnbin]

Great job guys. Just one thing... you forgot to plumb up the backwash waste.

[@adromeztizo]

Awesome video , very helpful thank you!!!

[@ecnova]

great video! I'm going to be converting my pool to salt next month, and installing a better pump/upgrading to DE filter at the same time. Coincidentally I am also in Lake Mary. I'm hoping I can do it myself, but if not I will definitely be contacting you guys to do the work! Do you also do pool service? If not who would you recommend in this area?

[@Inyopools]

That's great about you living in Lake Mary.... what a small world! You can do this by yourself for sure, give us a call if you need any assistance. We also have a great deal on our PureLine Crystal Pure Salt System Starting at $449 www.inyopools.com/crystal-pure-salt-system.aspx the system is on Pre-Order right now but will be shipping March 27th, 2017. We used the Hayward DE Filter in the video which is a good choice. Here is a link to the Hayward DE Filters www.inyopools.com/hayward-de-filters.aspx Thanks Again www.inyopools.com 407.834.2200

[@ecnova]

thanks for the quick reply! Would it be possible for me to come pick up from your location since you are local, or do you only ship?

[@Inyopools]

We have some items that are available for local pick up and other items that ship from warehouses that are not local. Could you give us the exact item #'s you are interested in and then we could let you know where they are located. Thank You www.inyopools.com

What happens if you don’t have the valve and connect directly into the Hayward filter

[@Inyopools]

The filter will still work but in order to clean out the DE, you'll have to take the filter apart and clean the grids manually.

[@ebzery]

why didnt they turn pump 180 so intake is on the right side?

[@ebzery]

i mean filter

[@Inyopools]

It's hard to see in most of the shots but there are valves on the other side of the filter. It was going to be difficult to plumb around those valves and get back to the pump. That is why we didn't rotate the filter 180°.
