I pulled the wrong plug off the filter and all of this sand came gushing out. Quick figured out it was a two-part plug and got the plug kind of back on and got the smaller plug off to drain the filter for winter.
Questions:
1. I lost about a gallon of sand. Do I need to replenish this in the spring before start up or can it run with a little bit less sand?
2. How do I get the big plug back on tight without sand in the threads? I'm thinking now that there's no water pressure on it, maybe it won't come gushing out :?: I'm concerned about using a wrench and brute force to finish tightening the plug because it's made out of plastic. My husband has been surprised more than once at what I can break when I'm determined that something should do what it shouldn't really do
Thanks.
