Hi all
I read on a few websites that sand should be replaced every five to seven years...because the sand edges get worn down and won't trap solids and particulates as well. I don't think that passes the sniff teat, but wanted some thoughts from this group.
Another question I have is about the plumbing - the sand filter does not have quick connects - should it? When i pop the top off to give it a deep clean, the plumbing will still obviously be connected - should I take this opportunity to cut the lines and install quick connects?
Much appreciated any insight from the TFP gurus...
