A little tip I do on refill, I use a solo cup instead of duct tape. It keeps the sand out & helps to spread the sand out evenly.

Embarrassed to say that I've never changed the sand after 13 years. I watched your tutorial and did it myself! That filter is heavy and after 13 years the sand was pretty gross. I don't recommend going that long! Thanks for. the video, it was so helpful!

Thank you for uploading this video. Last year It took a lot of clarifier and 2 weeks of 24 hour filtering to get clear water. I also had many algae blooms despite keeping chlorine levels pretty high. I finally realized that after 5 years, its time to change the sand. The job seemed intimidating until I saw your video. You make it look so easy! Cheers from Montreal.

Great video here! I never changed my sand after owning my pool for 6 years. This year the filter system wasn't working as well as it normally does so I decided to change out the sand today. I watched your video and then changed my sand today. Took me a total of about 40 minutes to complete. My filter requires 175 lbs of sand. The only things I did differently was I used a styrofoam cup instead of duct tape on the pvc pipe and I also filled my filter halfway with water before adding the new sand. I found those instructions on my filter. It worked great!!! THANKS!

Thanks for taking the time to post this, very helpful. Would have been even better if you had showed the o-ring seal. When you disassemble the filter, inspect and clean the o-ring and the mating face of the filter can. Probably best to replace the o-ring when you replace the sand. Every pool season start-up, my o-ring always leaks bit.

I'm pretty certain I could do all of this myself, but my Hayward is a 244T (takes 300lbs of sand, or about a 1/3 less if using glass media), and all of the three ports are put in with PVC (i.e., not flexible pipe), so I'd have to cut and then do re-plumbing, which I'm not as confident at. I did replace the multi-port at the top last year, and that came out great. Still, I may try this. Thanks!
