Intex sand filter

[Mpjerseygirl18]

Someone gave me an intex sand filter which I am using for a Coleman pool. Here are my issues

1. The small glass tube looks dirty inside. How do I clean it
2. I am getting o psi when it runs yet I can feel some pressure
3. I didn't have directions so is it possible I put in too much/too little sand?

Welcome! I suppose some of what you are asking would dependon the specific model Intex you have now. Here is an exmaple of one manual online:

.

I believe the glass bulb is removable, at least on some models. I don't see it on this manual, but we can keep looking. Zero psi can be different things. Maybe the gauge is broken/damaged inside? Does it ever move at all? For the sand, we usually fill about 2/3 full, but this particular manual shows to fill about halfway. Look this manual over and compare it to what you have.
