Tap around the clamp with the screwdriver handle as you are tightening the clamp to help seat the clamp properly. Place vinyl protector caps over the ends of the screws. Step 23 Your new pool sand filter should now be ready to operate. Make sure that your waste line is rolled out to where you want to dump the pool waste water. Step 25 Prime and turn ON the pool pump.
Be sure that you have at least one suction and all discharge lines open. Step 26 Run the pool pump for 2 minutes after you have a steady flow of water out the waste line after the pump is fully primed.
This will flush all the impurities or fine sand particles out of the sand media. Step 28 Turn the pump back ON and run until the water in the sight glass is clear. This should take no more than 1 minute. Step 30 Turn the pool pump ON. This is the normal operating mode for your filter. Note the pressure gauge reading. This is your clean sand filter pressure. As contaminates build up and clog your sand the pressure will climb. When it is psi above your clean filter reading, it's time again to backwash your filter.
Add a Comment. Will seat without old ring! Can someone please help? I may not of followed all theses steps. Any suggestions?? If you followed these directions to replace a pool pump, then that may be the problem Reply. Common sense answered for me!!! When water fills from the side the Manual air release raises the tank level BUT when it fills from the top it does it on it own. So sorry! I had my Hayward S sand filter replaced with Rx radiant top mount.
Resembles The Hayward in your instructions! These instructions that care with the pump are awful but it, in a sense, says same thing. The problem is, I cannot find the manual air release!!! The only other port besides from pump connection, to pool connection and the waste connection is where the pressure gauge goes! So how can I manually release air on a top mount filter? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just want to make sure I do it right!
I actually going to check instructions on a Hayward top mount since they are so similar. On the lateral at the bottom there is a clear hose looks like an airline with a plastic whit tip. Im not sure where that goes or its fuction, as the directions say nothing about it Any help is appreciated.
Thank you I am having trouble getting the clamp to seat properly.. I held it down while husband filled up with sand. Can we cut a little off the pipe Ideally, you want to to a dry run before adding the sand to make sure all the parts are fitting together correctly. Some times the lateral assembly can float or get lifted up when the sand is being added. That little gap between the assembly and the floor can be just enough to prevent the valve from sitting on the tank.
What would be the best way to replace this hose and fittings? Your local hardware store should carry both of those options as well as the hose adapters for hooking it to your pump and filter.
The part number is Screw the sight glass back in and see if it fixes the leak. Fast delivery on the purchase from your site -- thanks! One problem: when I backwash or recirculate ST, same as video there is leakage from around the edge of the sight glass. How should this be fixed? Also, some sand can get into the pool if you backwash the filter but don't rinse it after the backwash.
Replaced tank,mulitport,,and ck laterals. All good but still the same problem. What else can it be? Will there be any side effect if the flow rate of the pump is greater than the flow rate of the filter? It use to read around 20psi but now it doesn't move off 0. Can you tell me which gauge to purchase as a replacement? If so, you may have air building up in the top of the tank due to a suction air leak. This backpressure would clear your incoming pipes out and require you to prime the motor each time you restart.
Sand now coming into pool through outlets. Hayward ST See page 2 for the amount of sand to add for each model. The model number is the filter diameter in inches. Is there a way to find out how much sand I need to buy for it? As a backup, you might also drive a 3' heavy metal pipe into the ground and connect the pump to that. Most motors have a lug at the back of the motor to connect to. It is a 3 prong, going into a gfci socket. Do I need to do anything else or is this enough.
It is for a bestway quick set pool. Check that the strainer cover is not cracked and that the cover O-ring is not damaged. Then you may have to take out the sand again to check for other cracks in the laterals, the hub that holds the laterals, and the vertical standpipe. Cracks in any of these may let sand into the laterals to clog them. Installing it yourself is simple if you are handy and can follow written direction and will save you money in the process.

Things You'll Need. Backwash hose. Hose clamps if needed. Non petroleum based lubricant. Step by Step. Step 1 Make sure that the power by the pool is turned off. Step 4 Position the filter tank on the filter base securely next to the pool.
The hoses will need to be long enough to reach both the skimmer and the return. Double check the manual. Step 5 Next, assemble the lateral assembly. Step 6 This particular lateral assembly has snap on laterals. You will need to assemble it inside of the tank. Step 7 Note the tabs on the lateral and on the hub. Step 9 Repeat the process for the rest of the laterals. Step 11 Make sure that there are no leaks by the drain plug then slowly add the sand to the filter tank until the laterals are fully covered.
Once the laterals are completely covered, you can level the sand as you add the rest.
