Sand level on Triton ii 60

[scader]

I just performed a deep clean on my Triton ii 60 and the sand bed was a few inches below the intake port. I believe that is too low--only half way, and I should add some more. Anyone familiar with this filter to know where 325lbs hits? The intake port is right before the bend back in, so I'm curious if that should be at least partially in the sand? I can't find a spec sheet to say exactly how far from the top. Thanks.

They never do.

Post a pic of your sand level and maybe @1poolman1 @Lake Placid @Poolbreh has some rules of thumb.

How can you tell if your sand filter is low on sand?

Hello everyone, I opened my sand filter up for the first time after four years of having it, to do a deep clean. The sand looked very clean to begin with and rinsing didn't really wash up anything either so I guess we are ok. However, the level of sand is what I would describe as a little less...

Thanks everyone for the images/links, and quick replies. I'll go measure 10.5. I just added some de, should I backwash that out before adding more sand? Maybe sandwiched will keep it around longer?

Is there still a conversation kit for the clear pro? Thoughts on if better/worse than adding de? I don't see a kit, but I would presume I could get a new hub (155753) and fingers?

Backwash it out...
