I'm changing the sand today and I notice the drain plug is not even draining bearly any water came out compared to yours I got like 3 water drops so I will leave it all day and come back later today to change or or what you think k that happens. Great video thanks for sharing
Is it normal to have some sand in the bottom of a pool after sand change? I had none last year, and changed the sand at the beginning of the season this year (about 2 weeks ago), and there's a little building up in spots at the bottom. I have no sightglass, backwash to a storm drain, and my laterals are fixed, not hinged- so I couldn't get the assembly out for a thorough inspection. Everything seemed ok, as far as I could tell. Thanks
My Hayward Sand Filter says 350 pounds, so 7 bags of 50 pounds? That seems like it would be way to much sand coming up to the Top of the Sand Filter lol
This video is for 2 things: If you have filter sand on the bottom of your pool and a complete replacement of your sand.
Just backwash as normal and put on filter after.

If no water flow, the sand is clay at that point. Sand change is a good idea.
Just shop vac it all out. I run into that also.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas thanks

So when you backwash it (after it’s all changed) that’s what fills the filter back up with water? I don’t have to fill it up with water?

See the label on the side for the amount of sand needed for your filter.
