For what? Building a cove for a vinyl liner. Adding sand to a sand filter. Building a sand box. For the base of a pool. ????
Sand can be used in a filter that is made up of a box, with an "in" and an "out" pipe connected to it. Inside the box, there could be 2 bits of filter paper, similar to that found in a coffee maker (to stop the sand escaping), one covering each pipe. The sand would be between these 2 filters and, due to the porous properties of sand, and the fact that it lets very little solid particles through, it would filter the water to some degree, however, carbon is more commonly used, as it can filter out much smaller particles.
I put water in the filter box and when I turn on the filter water is not circulating thru the chlorinator as if there is a blockage. I have cleaned both the areas and th skimmer basket and the basket to the filter are both clean. I have tried the waste cycle and the water is not escaping. Its very frustration as I generally use half a bucket to get it going and its now not going. Please help Regards Paul P
Sand filters are not cleaned with chemicals . they are back washed when required. every four or five years it pays to replace the sand in a sand filter to maintain its efficiency.
It is more simple to filter water to delete sand.
of course. you should change your sand every 8-10 years. use a shop vac to get it out.
how do you clean jacuzzi sand filter, and replace sand
distinguish between slow and rapid sand filter
Sugest you use one of the cleaners that are made to do this job available from the pool shop.
Nothing if its a sand filter However if sand is coming into the pool from the filter then you may have to replace one ore more laterals in the sand filter as they have worn and are letting sand through to the pool,
You would use a filter. Like the ones for gold.
Do you mean how do you install a sand filter?.
