So I was in the process of closing my pool, and figured I have never cleaned my sand filter (deep clean), in the 5 years I owned it, plus god knows what the previous owners did.
I watched a few videos before attempting, and when I went to open the top, the Dang white pipe came out with it, and it feels like the laterals are there...I did not fully pull it out yet.
On the videos I've watched, the white part always stays in...but I had no idea what I was pulling.
Attached is a pic of where I left everything for now...the water is still draining from filter as I type.
What are my options? How to proceed? Will I need to replace the sand?? Thanks!
