True, stainless steal tanks are a good way to go. Too bad the fiberglass tanks aren’t more reliable. Nice info. thanks for sharing. I’m glad I found your blog post!!

I try to only install pentair sand filters. I have never had this problem with a pentair filter. With the exception of one DE filter that split the bulkhead twice. I changed the pump from a 2 HP to a 1 1/2 HP and no more problems.

Great idea, making parts out of stainless steel. That could really get me out of a jam in the future.

Swimming pool sand filter are one of the ways to keep your pool crystal clear and clean. This type of product uses sand as a means to collect and remove debris from a body of water. Sand is contained in a vessel or tank, water is pumped into the top of the tank, and into the internal distributor. This allows the pool water to “rain down” and flow through the media. As the water flows through, dirt and debris are collected and removed from the water. The debris is held behind and the clean water is returned to the swimming pool.

A Swimming pool sand filter which separates backwash contaminates from the backwash water so that the may be discarded separately, for connecting to a standard pool filtration system, having a pump with a pump inlet and a pump outlet, a sand filter having a sand filter inlet and a sand filter outlet, and having a pool return and a pool skimmer connected to the pump inlet, comprising: a backwash valve and a backwash filtering system. The backwash filtering system having an inlet and an outlet and a filter element disposed between the inlet and outlet, the outlet connected to the pump inlet. The backwash valve having a normal position and a backwash position. When in the normal position, the backwash valve connects the pump outlet and sand filter inlet, and connects the sand filter outlet and pool return. When in the backwash position, the backwash valve connects the pump outlet and sand filter outlet, and connects the sand filter inlet and backwash filtering system inlet.

Great solutions. We really don’t see to many of these in upstate New York. Maybe that’s a good thing.
