Very carefully! Make sure the laterals are in good condition and tight. If the filter has a verical return tube cover it to prevent sand from entering. Make sure this tube remains in the center of the opening. Add water to the empty filter until it is half full. This helps protect the laterals from being damaged by the addition of the sand and helps to distribute the sand evenly. Slowly add the correct amout of sand to the filter. There should be a label on the side of the filter that specifies the type of sand and the amount required. After the correct amount of sand is in the filter remove the cover from the return tube. Re-assemble the filter. Move the valve to "backwash" position to finish filling the filter with water. Backwash until water in the sight glass is clear.
