My husband opened it up. There was barely any sand in it! It must have all ended up in the pool when it was running backwards. I cleaned the underdrain and we added sand. So far, so good. I couldn't tell there was sand in the pool because it's still very cloudy. Thank you for your guidance! I...

After reading through older posts on here I've figured out that the underdrain is the same as laterals on other pool filters. I have a doughboy Aquaview System. How do we go about cleaning them?

Got a new gauge this morning! Back in business on that end. My husband is going to open up the filter later today. I showed him a picture of the laterals. He said we do not have those on ours. I looked at the booklet that came with the filter. There is nothing labeled "laterals" or no picture...

If I remember correctly from last year my normal pressure is around 15 or so. The gauge isn't going down to 0 at all, even when I turn it off. I'll pick up a new one tomorrow. It seems that all of the other flows are working properly. I left it on circulate all day and the pressure was normal...

Seems like I do have a problem now. The filter pressure shoots u to 20 when turned on. And that leaves hardly any water owing back into the pool. Suggestions? I did backwash it twice yesterday.

You're right! They're hooked up wrong. I checked the diagram. Boy, I feel like an idiot. ??‍♀️ Hopefully it's not damaged anything. And it will fix the issue. Thanks again!

I didn't realize that picture didn't upload. Are they connected wrong?

I called the doughboy dealer near me. They think it's the spider gasket. I'm on my way to get a new one now.

Thank you! I will check into it.

No. I just checked. Seems like the filter setting is the only one that is working. And water trickles out in that setting. When I push the lever down to change settings water pours out of the open valve.

I have a doughboy sand filter. When I switch the position to backwash the water does not come out like it's supposed to. Instead, the water continues to run into the pool through the return jet. Any suggestions?
