Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I left that sucker running all day yesterday! Ha! Thanks again.

Hi everyone, I once had a pool repairman tell me that running my pool slide would significantly cool the water. I have a wild ride waterslide, the water used to supply it comes directly from the pool from a switch that I have that allows the water to either come out of the inlet or it can be...

This manual does show pivoting laterals, but the piping I pulled out of there had screw in laterals, it also had a bottom much unlike the hayward one I purchased at the store today. The one I pulled out today had a rubber bottom that was glued to the bottle at the very bottom to hold it in...

Here is a picture of my broken standpipe. I had no idea it would be in this bad of shape. I had only 4 laterals connected to it when I opened it up. The previous owners also had some weird glue job that really confused me as to how the new piece set in there. I'll upload the picture later so...

I came back to view replies after I had already bought the sand, but in the end I think I had to do it anyway because of the fact that I had no idea how long it had been there. Plus I only got about one five gallon bucket out of the filter, which means the rest is in my pool! Thank God for...

Excellent, Thanks so much for all the help. I had put a call in to my local pool company to see if they would come over and fix it but because of all this help I am able to do it myself. You guys saved my family a bundle.

I guess I am a little confused as to how this all works. When I took off the top assembly and got the sand out I saw that I could now take out the pipe. I had thought that this pipe was connected to the bottom of the bottle and that I would have to unscrew the pipe from a fitting at the bottom...

Thanks for the advice. I've got all the sand out, there was maybe one five gallon bucket worth of it left in the filter. The bottle is intact, although it came off its foundation when I lifted it up out of the 4 foot pit it sits in, (interesting setup by previous home owners). Its just that...

You nailed it. There were several disconnected laterals. What really concerns me is that the entire stand pipe just came out right from its seating. Is there anything I can do about this?

Uh oh, that doesn't sound good. What is your guess on what I will find?

Hi everyone, Thanks for taking the time to read about my experience during this years opening. I have an inground pool, standard rectangle, with a hayward pump, hayward sand filter, and an aquabot. Last year I had a late closing, and I didn't close the pool right, as I was in a rush. That...
