    Sand Filter spewing water

    It did spew like that from the start. I got the new filter in and I now know what the problem was. The split nut would not screw down far enough on the threaded sleeve for some reason. When I would tighten it tighten all the way, and no, it was not cross threaded. I took it off and put it on...

    Sand Filter spewing water

    I contacted the company I bought the filter from and they are sending me a new one but I am still curious what the problem could be? The water is coming from beneath the split nut on the valve assembly; in between the split nut and threaded sleeve assembly.

    Sand Filter spewing water

    Ground liner above or below sand?

    I got my ground level so now it is time for the pool setup. My pool has a circumference of 27' and I purchased 2 tons of mason sand to create a shallow sand layer but I cannot decided if I want to put the sand over or under the Liner Armor ground liner I purchased? I have read that people have...
