Yet another Filter ID thread...

[tony_m]

Hi all!

As a first time homeowner I'm also new to the TFP community. I've done a bunch of reading and have identified most parts of my inherited pool. Unfortunately, I can't find any indicative markings on my sand filter. I'm pretty sure the o-ring that sits between the filter and the multiport gave way over the weekend. Please help me ID it so I can shop for the proper replacement gasket.

I've uploaded some pictures to imgur. If I forgot to include any information, please let me know.

Thank you!

That logo is Waterways. Grab a tape measure and measure the circumference and get the diameter that way. Then it shopuld be real easy to pinpoint the exact model looking at catalog pictures online.

Yep, Waterways, although with the amount of water coming out give the rim of the filter a good visual and tactile inspection. Could be an o-ring, could be a crack.

Thanks guys!

After measuring the circumference (60 inches) I figure the diameter is about 19 inches. After a couple of google searches I determined that there is only one option on the Waterway website (Above Ground) that doesn't come with their name brand pump. Fortunately, 19 inches is also far enough away from the two comparable models (ClearWater Sand). I found a list of parts for Model FS019 here (Waterway ClearWater Sand Swimming Pool Filter Parts). Hopefully, I can narrow down whether its just the gasket or a crack tomorrow. For now, I'm off to Home Depot to get 100 lbs of Pool Sand.
