How to Change Sand in your In-Ground Pool Filter!

Fantastic video! I'm 81 years old and our filter tank is in a tight enclosure, so I can't do it myself, but at least I know the procedure now and can check to make sure the pool service technician is doing it right. Thanks so much for posting this video.

Crushed this tutorial! Thank you for efficiently demystifying this process and the overall assembly of the filter. You got another sub.

One of the BEST instructional videos I've ever seen! Thanks!

Thanks….excellent video. I’m a 74 year old lady who likes to DIY everything I can. This has been a very clear tutorial.

I love all your video.I learn A lot since I start watching your videos, I own the pool since last year and I take care of my pool my self, also I figured I can do almost everything for my pool. cleaning changing sand, fixing and changing part! lol  and Im so grateful for the all the knowledge and explanation. Thank you

Great Video. I just finished the job. My filter is 30 years old and I am pretty sure the sand had never been replaced, we have owned the pool for 21 years. The bottom half below the laterals was like concrete. My first indication that this was the case was last winter when I drained the filter, the water flow was very slow..... It was a turd to dig the old sand out as it was so hard, vacuumed the first half down to the laterals, removed them, then dug out the rest with a strong scoop, Our pool never cleared this year for the first time, and that was what prompted the mission. $ 50 for the sand. I found that the top of the backwash system was a bit cracked so I opted to replace the laterals/pipe for $200. All other parta were fine.

This was all the information we needed, and no extraneous stuff. Excellent!

The best video for the Hayward Pro filter sand replacement. You covered every detail. Thanks.

Awesome job Mark! Can't stop watching your videos.

Thanks Mark for this clear video. I will do the sand replacement with confidence.

Thank you! First time pool owner and I was able to do this all myself in a few hours with your clear instructions!

Your videos are great! Helped me master my new system.

This was outstandingly detailed. I will trying this over the weekend. Wish me luck

Excellent tutorial. I was able to confidently change the sand in my Hayward sand filter. Thanks!

Very well explained 👏 Thank you Mark

Very helpful with the drain cap in the little tool on the end thank you.

Just getting the pool fired up this year and noticed my operating pressure after backwash is about 13 (normal).. but, within 8-10 hrs, it's up around 23. My filter sand is about 7yrs old. I was suspecting this was the problem. Thanks for the video, Mark.

Very helpful thanks. We are changing the sand for the very first time in my father in law inground pool. He never changed it (didn't new you had too) in over 20 years......

Good video. Makes it easy for the pool owner. Thank you for all your videos, they are very educational.

Excellent Video. Thank you for taking the time.
