Where do you put the sand on a Doughboy sand filter if there are two possible openings where the sand could go?

There aren't any openings period!

On the old doughboy sand filters there are a bunch of bolts all the way around it. You have to take them all out and the top half of the filter comes apart. On the majority of the newer filters you have a filter head on top that is completely separate from the filter. They are attached with a metal band that you unscrew and the filter head lifts off. Whichever one you have, since you should only be changing your sand every 5 to 7 years depending where the pool is and trees around it etc.....the gasket should be replaced just to prevent future leaking.

Now inside both filters there is a PVC tube with either a bunch of laterals aka fingers or there is a round filter. Both should be checked every time you change your sand for broken vents or any cracks. If there is any damaged, replace them. Damaged laterals or filters prevent the sand filter from working properly which usually results in sand getting into the tube and will be shot out into your pool through the return. When you get ready to put your sand in make sure you don't pour any in the PVC tube. It doesn't belong there. Pour around the tube, but first fill the filter up about half way with water so that when you pour the sand in, its taking the weight of it off of the laterals or filter which can be broken if the sand is just poured in.

Do humans interact with crabs?

Interact?

Hermit crabs and humans are not like. That being said however:

Hermit Crabs and humans do both need to eat, and both have their own food pyramid they should eat from to remain healthy.

Hermit crabs and humans both need to drink water so they do not become dehydrated. However, water needs to be safe as in hermit crabs if offered tap water needs to have a dechlorinator used to make it safe, whereas humans do not.

Hermit crabs and humans both need a certain warmth to prevent hypothermia which can lead to harmful complications or death.

Hermit crabs and humans both need salt in their diet even though it is a different type of salt. Hermit crabs need the elements found in ocean/sea water salt/salt mixes and humans need the iodine from salt.

What can crabs eat generally found around the house?

I'm not sure what crab you are talking about but I'm going to assume it's a hermit crab?

I feed mine:

potatoes, celery, radishes, grapes, bananas, unseasoned, fully cooked chicken, peaches, nectarines, nuts, orange peels, and peanut butter.

I also buy sun dried baby shrimp from the pet store and brine shrimp to feed them.

With the sun dried baby shrimp, I crush them up and make them moist.

I don't have a food processor so I have to cut up their food into really small pieces so they can eat it.

If you have a food processor, I recommend using it to grind up their food.It's much easier and doesnt take up as much time.

How do you kill land crabs?

Put the crab in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This does not freeze the crab or kill it, or affect the quality, but it does put it in a sleep state, so that there is no kicking when you put it in the boiling water.

If you want to dispatch them before boiling, you can cut the ventral nerve cord on crabs or lobsters. Take a knife and stab them in the middle of their "belly", that being where the flap beneath them (actually their abdomen folded up beneath them) ends. The abdomen ends in a triangle-like shape, so just stab them right at its tip, or on either side of it, with a knife, and they will stop moving in seconds. The deeper you stab the better. Its the same basic deal with lobster, except there abdomen isn't folded up beneath them, so just stab the knife right in the center of where their legs meet.
