I just saw your post thanks for the reminder!! It’s like I tell my dad exactly what you said about the sand not going bad, but getting overwhelmed even though I tell him what I think I know and what you and others have told me and reminded me I get to where I feel like I can’t think and am grabbing at straws because I am feeling like I’m failing!
I wrote my post last night and then remembered what @Texas Splash sent me Wednesday about a deep cleaning it. So I took the top off and the post and laterals were connected to the multi port valve. So I figured out how to get it out last night and didn’t know how to get it back in. After a few not too nice calls to Leslies customer service and getting the nice people from jacuzzi to give me the corporate manager over their brand products at Leslies phone number and email I got a call back, he was great and even FaceTimed me to look at my equipment situation. So I had to take all the sand out anyway so I can get everything put back together. Not as bad as I imagined! Now that I have 95% of the sand out I’ve noticed that around 25%-30% of the sand from the bottom down seems like it needs to be rinsed more. I want to make sure I get all the cloudiness out before putting the sand back in. I have it in my daughters enormous beer pong buckets and was wondering if anyone has done this and if y’all have any idea of the easiest/best way for me to make sure the cloudy substance is out of the sand. I was thinking… if I could do it in small loads like the buckets the sand is in right now it would be easy to pour it back into the filter. Could I use a pillow case or something?
