It’s been over 10 years since our sand has been replaced (bought in 2009 and we have never replaced it.)
Picked up 300 lbs of silica sand from Leslie’s. Opened up the filter to allow the water to drain and I’m betting no more than 2 cups had drained in the last two hours since I’ve been fiddling with trying to get the head/control valve off. What did drain was milky white. It’s time.
Got the ring off the head and it will shimmy just a tad, but I obviously need to cut some pipes to remove it. My question is WHERE?
Is this a case of where I’d be better off to make a run to Lowe’s and replace it all? If so, anything I need to know? (Type of PVC, glue, rings to get (or not get)?)
This stuff isn’t crazy expensive, is it?
