New Hayward Sand Filter Install [Step by Step ]

Why the heck are t the lines to the pump and pool shown? That would have helped a lot.

Thanks for the video. Installing a multiport. Seems to keep leaking. I used liquid teflon too. Think I’ll try the silicone.

If your putting sand in the filter please save the time to grab a Sandwich bag and tape it secure. 😢

Could you please list out the pieces of PVC pieces I would need to connect all my fittings? I get overwhelmed when trying to find all the pieces I need!
Thank you,
Bruce

Silicon , I think not a good idea

Shouldn't you fill the filter about half way water before adding the sand? Asking for a friend...

I put a 6 inch piece of 2 inch pvc pipe over the center filter pipe and taped the top end with duct tape to keep sand from going in. Then I just poured the bags of sand in slowly. Thanks for the video.

How long do you have to wait for the silicone to dry before putting water to it?

Oh my god thank you!!! You're the only video I've found that says to put a cap on that bottom spout! Just bought a house w a pool and I'm clueless as I diy setup

Thank you for your service
