When should I change the sand in my filter?
Reply
You should change the sand in your filter every 5-7 years. You can generally tell that it is time if your pool water is not as clear as it normally is or when you notice the interval between backwashes is shorter. You can use > this guide to walk you through it.

How often do I have to replace the sand in my filter? What is normal operating pressure?
Reply
On a "fresh start-up" a filter would operate anywhere between 10-20 psi. As a general rule of thumb you only want to backwash when the pressure increases 8-10 psi. You want to make certain that the pump is being turned off whenever you move the handle on the valve. Once backwashing is complete (3-5 minutes), you can switch to the rinse option to re-settle the sand bed. Sand will typically last 5-7 years. Premature backwashing will wear down the size of the sand which will cause difficulties such as cloudy water and higher operating pressures.

Hi!
I request some information.
the sand and the filter are shipped separated?
Is there a chance to purchase the filter only, since I do not need the sand?
Thanks for your attention

Hi Ricardo, We do not include sand with our filters. If sand is needed it would be purchased separately.

My filter is operating at a low 4 lbs pressure on the Filter setting. It's only a year old and if I'm not mistaken, last year it ran about 10 lbs when clean. No obstruction in my intake line or pump. Any ideas?

Hi Bill, We have a good guide here on How to Troubleshoot Low Pressure in a Pool Filter. The comments at the bottom of the guide also have some very useful information in them. If you need any more assistance please let us know.

(4 out of 5 stars) Sand Filter
Reviewed By: Richard B. from texas ()
Pros: Easy to assemble. Easy to install
Well, my original belief after discussion with a sales rep. at INYO was that I would be receiving a sand filter complete. Wrong--lol; after the initial shock of seeing so many parts its actually not that bad to put together and this is coming from a man like all other men that hate reading directions (bless my wife). One thing was amazing is I received a lot of directions which were all in French? go figure-product comes from Canada. 2 pages were in English. Becareful and not throw away those papers. Product seems to be working great no problems so far.
