Thank you both!!! There are some leaves on the bottom but it's mostly algae. I hadn't tried to vacuum it yet because I was worried about the filter. Should I vacuum to waste? Also... apparently I was wrong about water coming from the other direction during backwashing, but is it supposed to flow...

Thank you!!! I did clean the filter when I had it taken apart and I'm wondering now if maybe I lost some sand...could that be affecting the filter? But it really wasn't working well before either so probably not. 🙄 I don't know enough and all my guesses are scaring me! Lol. It makes me feel much...

Oh that's awesome!! Thank you so much! I literally just got off the phone with the pool store and they said it was going to be $200 to replace. ? If i can get by with just replacing the gasket for now I will!

Hi, I have a (fairly old, from all appearances) Waterway TWM sand filter that was put in by the previous owners. I'm pretty sure from a conversation on another thread that I need to replace the spider gasket...it's leaking from backwash port on filter setting and now has started pouring dirty...

I'd love to know what you figured out on this. I have a TWM Waterway sand filter that was installed by the previous owner and I'm having major problems with leaking. Can't find anything about it when I Google. ?

Thanks, I was just wondering if you knew if Lowe's, etc. would carry it. I did find one at a pool store and we'll see if it works. :)
