Depends on the type of filter - If a sand filter, then remove the top valve section very carefully and dump the sand into buckets for disposal. Clean out with a garden hose then refill the new sand. Be sure all tubes in the filter go together properly, especially the tube at top to the valve unit. Put a new gasket between this unit and the body. (purchase at most pool and spa supply stores).
If they are cartridge filters, (as many are), first turn off pump at main, depress the red button on top to relieve water pressure, then open cartridge and remove filter. (noting carefully which end went top and bottom ) Clean out holder with a hose then place new filter in correct orientation, (having removed ALL wrapping !) remove 'o' ring on top of holder and carefully clean it's seating depression, if the 'O' ring looks good and is not torn or nicked then rub 'plumbers grease' or 'White Lithium grease' all over it and replace in the depression. now screw the cartridge together by hand till tight, then tighten 1/4 turn with filter wrench.
In both cases, when everything is together again, turn on pumps and crack valves open VERY slowly - not just full on instantly !
