    The stand pipe is too high

    The sand is wet so I'm scooping it out by hand, I've got the stand pipe and laterals out. I can't find any reference to cleaning sand when it's not in the filter, any suggestions?

    That's fair, I should have asked about the vacuum. Do you mean a conventional wet/dry shop vac?

    Thank you, in this case does all the sand need to come out or will the laterals go down far enough with some still in the bottom?

    The stand pipe is too high

    I was removing the head on my pool filter and I managed to pull the stand pipe up. Do I have to empty the filter? Can I reuse the sand that's in there? It's a Sta Rite T240 BP1.

    Dive-In Theaters

    II've read about using a translucent white shower curtain for rear projection. It's on my to do list, I'll post a picture when I get it working.
