How do you replace a hayward sand filter drain plug? Mine leaks & I can't get it out.
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/27/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Brian M.

The removal of the drain plug should not be so tough. It is not a piece that gets removed weekly, so it may offer up some resistance. The top cap, like the plug should un-screw and the plug should slide out. If the tank is still completely full, there may be too much pressure. Try to remove some of the sand and try again, perhaps with a crescent wrench ( for leverage )

Last fall my drain plug cap was stuck. I used a wrench for more leverage to turn the cap but the entire drain plug came out (I was probably turning cap the wrong way). I cannot seem to get the drain plug to thread back into the sand filter, although the threads on both do not appear to be damaged. I looked at the threading and it appears clockwise to thread as you look at the filter. Any suggesting for getting the drain plug back into the filter ?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/5/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Dennis, If the threads appear to be fine you can try using teflon tape.
