We need to change the sand in our filter ,it is a sw256t hayward ,but dont know how to remove other sand,does anyone know how?

SOURCE: Bought a new home with pool which has the Hayward

Need some more info on the Sand filter. I can help you out. With the rest. Is that the pic of the filter you have. If it is then its a top mount. Depending on the debri that comes into pool, you will back wash 1-2 times a week. After back washing you will turn to rinse and let it run for awhile (of course each time you turn the handle make sure the pump is OFF. Set, then turn on.) then back to filter.. Any Q's just hit me up buddy..

SOURCE: replaced sand now filter isnt working

if u used play sand, or any other type of sand thats NOT pool filter sand, that could be the problem. also if there is too much sand or too little sand that could also cause this.

SOURCE: Where can I get a seal for the flow valve on a

www.arrowmotor.net and use the contact button. You would likely want the rebuild kit that includes all the gaskets and o-rings.

Be sure to include the model number off the valve, which should have SP at the beginning.
