Take the mutiport controls of the top of the unit. This will allow you to see inside where the sand is. The easiest way to remove the sand is to get a venturi pump these go on the end of the garden hose and use the taps water to suck the sand out of the filer housing. (ask your pool shop about this device) Once the filter is empty replace the sand with whatever you want to throw in there. Screw the multiport back on and you are done
