∙ 15y agoThis depends on the type of sand filter you wish to install.The basics are you have to find a good position for the filter, Put the laterals in place, drop the required amount of sand or filter media in it, screw the multi-port on top Connect the pump to the filter at the inlet have the return pipes connected at the outlet then you need to have a place to run the water to that comes out when you are doing a backwash. Seek advice from the suppliers of the filter to make sure you get it right

∙ 15y agoIs this for an above ground vinyl lined pool? Or a standard pool?
For the previous: You should have some hoses that are supplied with the filter if not you will have to find them at your nearest pool store. One hose will connect to the discharge side of the pump/the piece with motor attached. The other end of hose will be attached to the filter inlet. Second hose will be attached to the filter outlet and then the other end will be connected to the pool return / the nozzle going into the pool wall.
For a standard hook up Plumbing would be the same however, the hoses would be replaced with PVC pipe schedule 40.

∙ 8y agoFind a brand/model of sand filter that will fit in the physical space you have. Remove or replace fittings in order to fit the new unit. You may have to saw the existing pipes and/or use coupling reducers/expanders to make to new unit fit. Be sure that the modified fittings do now restrict the water flow below the minimum required rate of your new filter.
