I changed the sand in my filter this year and when I had everything ready to go, the bleeder valve continuously shoots out water when I turn pump on and have valve on "filter" selection. I've hand tightened bleeder as much as I can by hand, still leaks. Did I perhaps put too much water in filter when I changed the sand??

Bleeder valves use serviceable o-rings. Sometimes it's easier to replace the entire valve. I was able to source o-rings for my Pentair air relieve valve at ACE Hardware. Start searching for parts using your filter's manufacturer and model. Let us know if you need help. Post make/model of your filter.
