Hello!
We did a deep.clean of the sand on Thursday, and then yesterday (Saturday) i noticed sand in the pool especially near return jets. It was probably there before yesterday, I just couldn't see it due to water clarity.
I vacuumed it up and this morning it looks just as bad. I'm worried that we broke a lateral.
My husband says that continually vacuuming sand will ruin the pump and we should shut it down. He is working today and every day for the next week so I'm going to have to figure this out!
My plan is to order the laterals asap just in case, go pick up sand, then get to work emptying the old sand.
Haven't looked.yet to see if we can get laterals for our 20 yr old filter. It is a sta rite T 240BP 1
Any advice before I get started?
Thank you!
