[@itanimulli1111]

Whoever made this video sincerely kicks ass! Thank You!!!

[@hugo1704]

I'm so glad I found this video on my first search. I knew nothing about these machines 10 minutes ago. THANK YOU !

[@takatime1]

As a first pool owner my pool holds 16000 litre water so when I installed the sand pump still dubious how it functioned been a electrician of 25 years worked with pumps in my profession this video is the best I have encounter with it's transparent diagrams of how each function is operated to what ever task you require so from Aotearoa... Nz I rate this 5 stars ....5 been the highest.... Very informative to newbee sand pump owners like my self Ngati sparkee Aotearoa....NZ

Extremely well explained specially with the animation and showing the water flow as well.. 👍👍

[@Travis456ify]

8 years later and I'm impressed with the animations. Well done. Great explanation too.

[@UGARCIA1981]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to get home and vacuum properly. Do everything properly. Thank you. God bless

[@justlooking4771]

BAM!! I'd been trying to get rid of debri from the bottom of the pool on while on ***filtration*** having zero idea it needed to be on **waste**! Thank you SO much!

[@karmaline]

Excellent explanation! The animation really helped and gave me a clear understanding!

[@josephgodridge2814]

I’m house sitting this is perfect now to work out the control box on how to manually turn the pump on and off but thank you the video is awesome

[@TheMarioMen1]

This is exactly what I needed to know!

[@newspokes70]

Great video. I dug a permanent PVC line that backwashes out to the road next to my mailbox. No need to wind and unwind a hose hose anymore

[@brickvandal]

For 50% faster backwashing, I recommend a hose hose hose instead

[@s.greasey7654]

I didn’t know you can vacuum and bypass the filter by using the waste setting. I’m definitely trying it when I open my pool. Thank you!

[@666dynomax]

Put your garden hose in you're going to lose a pile of water

[@croweater75]

The BEST instruction video by a mile.....thankyou

[@ernestofelix1105]

This is indeed the best video .. strightforward information and very illustrative

[@TheNoxion]

This is best video on internet how pump works !

[@labman3023]

4:05 It Makes sense because it does not clean the water, and if it did, it would make the sand dirtier, requiring a backwash and rinse! Thank you because my grandfather will understand all the functions because he only knows filter, backwash, rinse! :D And also, You have to rinse after backwash, otherwise it will bring the sand into the pool, requiring a vacum!

[@lindalefebvre6189]

BEST VIDEO EVER,THANKS A LOT FOR EXPLAINING

[@Angelo-ve6vb]

This is the best video I've ever seen

[@thatmatty231guy]

Best video ever- now I know how to use the god damn pool pump system haha.

[@johnhanson6591]

Always turn the filter value hand in one direction only this filter goes clockwise as most multiports . Always go in the direction backwash,rinse, filter that way you will not harm the internal gaskets

[@johnmichaelkarma]

Never saw any demo where the multiport is maneuvered clockwise and anticlockwise. Have always read and been told clockwise only is the way to prevent damage to multiport seal.😎

[@nobaddaystravel6855]

I was taught to only turn the lever clockwise not counter clockwise.

[@greghackney8437]

I was taught the same thing 35 years ago and until today I've never heard any different.

[@brickvandal]

@@greghackney8437 In Australia and all points south of equator, you turn counter clockwise, or the result will be all toilets in your home stop flushing properly.

[@susieq3021]

I think I understand the thing now...thank you!

[@TosenHakkaDialect]

very clear, good job!

[@tonybee5009]

Very informative video, but for the sake of argument don't use the waste gate function on an overfilled pool... rather backwash until your water is at the requited level. That way you get to clean your filter really well without wasting water.

[@bazooragamer7951]

backwashing for more than 3minutes can harm your filter

[@johnhanson6591]

Prolonged backwashing will cause "channeling of the sand" not good for your filter.

[@cadillacescalade1]

Best video ever

[@ganesankarthik764]

I will understand multiport value operation thank you

[@loisfaruolo6932]

I have a old 1 speed 3 hp 1996 challenger and the motor need replacement . Is it wise to buy a 2 speed motor to replace the one speed motor for energy saving when I just want to circulate my chemicals in the water???? BTW. I have an 8 jet spa and when valved off the spa has one separate jet that acts as a pool a overflow water fall while the pool is in valved for circulation and skimming. I also have a return separately valved for my polaris pressure side cleaner that i run as needed . In this 15000 gallon pool with a 10 person spa.

[@faraazfawaz8144]

my pressure dial is not working do I have to change or change the entire filter machine??????

[@matf3337]

You showed that in wrong order you can mess up the spider gasket that way... always go clockwise

[@QuaabQueb]

Just curious what you think the reason behind that is...

[@0201manny]

@@QuaabQueb think of the spider gasket like a wiper blade but very weak...if you make it go back and fourth it will lower its lifespan..or if it is really old, it could just instantly crack.

[@MissMarshall]

Evo Manny thank you for telling me!

[@rod928s4]

Completely untrue! The spider gasket is embedded in the housing and the lever simply lifts a slotted aluminum plate. To confirm, simply put the lever in "winterize", undo the 6 screws and lift off the lever ass'y. 5 minute job to replace the spider gasket after it ages and wont seal properly anymore( chlorine hardens the rubber)

[@josharnett3983]

Completely untrue. People tend to slap the multiport valve into position oppose to lifting and turning. The wiper blade analogy is spot on. Move in one direction to prolong the life of your spider gasket.

[@kennethgmurphy2923]

ALWAYS turn handle clockwise.

[@sharonwaterbury4978]

should I take the filter indoors in the winter and do I remove the sand?

[@germandubois4014]

I remove sand by scooping out sand as much as possible, then I turn filter upside down and use my water hose to clean out completely. I then store inside during winter. I don’t mind using fresh, clean, new sand every season. I’ve been doing this for more than 15 years. But I must say this video is by far the BEST instructional video. Wish it was available when I started. 10 star rating

[@jeanninelewis5190]

very informative, thanks

[@tusharkathuria9]

How do you avoid sand from going out of filter during backwash.. asking because we need to allow dirt to go out but prevent sand from leaving the filter..tricky

[@735rob]

Tushar Kathuria if you are loosing sand during backwash it may be an indication it is time to change your sand. Also losing a little bit of sand is not a big deal during backwash as it is also good that your sand is loose in the filter so the water is able to pass through the sand and not around the edge of the sand where it meets the filter housing this is what is referred to as channeling

[@chrisfarrow7584]

Very informative and useful ,but I really could have done without the music .

[@brickvandal]

Found the best video ever on using a sand filter pump, and still needs to complain about the background music. The struggle is real. Lol

[@willatarlton4775]

If you vacum on waste do u take out both skimmer basket and the basket near the pump

[@735rob]

Willa Tarlton I would not recommend pulling out the baskets. What does it hurt to keep them in? Also in the event larger or hard items get sucked in the baskets will protect the impeller on your pump.

[@MostafaMekkawy123]

Where can I buy that unit ?

Castens Masonry in Jackson Missouri!! They have everything from outside kitchens to pools and spas and everything in between they are amazing.

[@negro01ize]

[@MissMarshall]

What do the octopus things do on the bottom of the filter. Do they shoot out water or what?

[@kellyhudson3191]

Miss Marshall ,they pull the water in and fresh water comes out of the center tube

[@spresc2180]

@@kellyhudson3191 They are called “laterals”. It’s purpose is to have even distribution of water through the filter media whether it is flowing top to bottom as in the filter mode, or flowing from bottom to top and then discharge outside the unit, as in backwash mode. The laterals have tiny slots cut in them along their length, or a mesh or non corrosive screen for waters entry or exit, and capped on the ends.

[@chrisb9943]

when you are back-washing dont you have to change the sand? I didnt hear that part

[@XFBO]

It's my understanding that the sand doesn't need to be changed until it has at least 3-4 seasons in it. General back-washing basically cleans the sand just enough to help bring the correct pressure in the system.

[@brandinop6379]

I’ve been running a sand filter in my pool for about 10 years. Sand is good in a filter for 3-5 years before sand gets dulled and doesn’t filter as well. I personally replace my sand every 3 years due to heavy pool use in the summer.

[@seamyth8913]

I don't have a connection for a backwash or waste hose so I presume it is plumbed to a solid pipe running to drainage,

[@raymondhogue1]

I’m stupid, what kind of filter is this?

Thx

[@sean2743]

why have i been warned to only rotate clockwise not counter clockwise like u have been doing in this video? does it really matter?

[@maxp9793]

I like the info and the voice, but the music needs to be turned way down, it's very loud and repetitious and distracting. I found myself muting the video and skipping ahead.

[@lenoramlopez]

ugh my filter does not have the recirculate and I need this waiting on part

[@stargazer8696]

Does it have bypass

[@gabrielcorrales8878]

Is the grain size of the sand universal? It is because I have a sand filter that seems to leak sand to the pool and I don't know if I'm using a wrong grain size

As long as you use pool filter sand you should be good.

Is it really necessary to replace sand every 2 years? And if so, why?

[@donniediamond1411]

Generally 3-5 years is typical for sand replacement. The sand over time erodes and loses its sharp edges, becoming smooth and round, and does not trap debris very well.
