bought a Pentair Clean and Clear Plus Cartridge Filter and decided to install it myself after watching your installation instructions. The install was relatively easy thanks to the tips you provided in your video. I saved a fair amount of money and, not being a "pool expert," enjoyed the accomplishment. Great video!
Nice work!
This video was great! Thank you so much! My husband and I were able to install this with relatively high confidence after watching your video!
Glad it helped!
Dude has my same birthday. It's a sign. New filter for me, Choosing a quad Pentair.
😅
Very cool! And good choice!
Curious why 45 degree sweeps aren't used instead of 90's? The 45's reduce water flow resistance adding life to the pump. Other than that question.....excellent.
Most common reason is pool equipment layout/spacing.
Dude pipes and gets right to it. Thanks!
No problem 👍
Trying to install one now. I think I made a mistake by waiting to the end to screw the couplers on. I can't get the O-rings to seal.
Thank you for commenting. For questions like this, we highly suggest you contact Pentair directly: 1-800-831-7133
@ 6:41, call "KYLE" 🤣🤣🤣
great video though. 👍
Thanks 😅
Thank you for this detailed video. I have a question, Im about to replace my current really old DE filter with a Pentair Clean & Clear 520. My current DE filter has a backwash valve installed which is connected to the sewer line (I live in North Texas). You mention in your video that Cartridge Filters should not be installed with a Push-Pull Backwash valve of the cartridge will explode. I understand that cartridge filters do not require backwash, but is it really a bad idea to use a push pull backwash valve? I already have a replacement one and would not like to return it or exchange it for a multi port one unless its absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance!
If you want to blow the filter up your more than welcome to but we will not recommend doing so. Any reputable pool company in your area will tell you the same thing. Hope this helps!
He turns off the power, then releases the air valve and says it's to let air back in. Can someone explain? I thought that's to release air, not add.
Its does technically yes but it pushes air into the system to force the water out making the job easier as less messy. Hopefully this makes sense.
Also, I noticed a few people installing these particular DE filters without the Backwash valve. I love that because its simple, but maybe another thing you should point out to your viewers?
Hello, normally we would include that in the video however, this particular install video is for a cartridge style filter which does not require a backwash valve. Hope this helps!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great week!
Great video! Question: Did your pool plumbing diameter match the diameter of the filter? Mine is 2" pool plumbing and a 2 1/2" filter inlet/ outlet, so I need reducing bushings. Do you glue the reducer or just insert it without glue? Thanks.
Unless the reducer is threaded onto a union yes it would need to be glued. Hope this helps!
Can I install hayward DE vari flow valve to Cartridge filrer . I had before DE filter but now I just changed to Cartridges but I wanna save that valve. Is it gonna be backwards flow ?
It would be best to reach out to Hayward for type of question.
What brand & model PVC pipe cutting tool did you use? Excellent video.
Hi, that tool was picked up at a local distribution center so I am not sure of the brand or what model it is.
Hi. Great video brother. Did you cap the backwash pipe since there is no need for it? Thanks
Hi there, in this particular case, there was no backwash line underground by any means. The customer just let the waste water fly down their side yard. Normally, yes, I would cap the backwash line that comes up from the ground.
wow incredible ! thanks so much. Really makes me want to do this project on my own. My 520 filter is coming next week. Is there a way to place some valve so that I bypass the filter - lets say cleanup with lots of waste and I don't want dirt to go into the filter?
That's will be some complicated plumbing. However, you can thread in a 1.5’’ line in the bottom of the filter and attach a Pentair 2 way valve to it. May save time, money, and energy.

Do not have them in stock but they are on the way and should be here at our warehouse in the next week or two. Hope this helps!
Can i replace my 240 with a 420 or 520?
Yes, totally possible. They have the exact same filter bottoms.
Wow, no holding the joints together for 30 seconds as with the thinner glues??
That is correct!
Anyone know if there’s 2 -O Rings in the Black Unions that are on this filter? Mine leak! I used pipe tape, and are these just hand tight?
Yes, there are O-rings normally with any unions used with water. And yes we only recommend hand tightening those. Hope this helps!
Awesome video! Very detailed! I had one question, do you think I could use oatey rain-r-shine blue pvc cement in replacement of the Weldon 746?
Hi there, we would not recommended using anything other than the Weldon Pool Heavy 746 Gray. Hope this helps!
Thanks so much!!
@@NicoleMarmol It's our pleasure.
Happy early or belated birthday! 😅
Thank you!
Does this filter setup come with the 2inch to 1 /12 reducing bushings?
No, it does not. Comes with standard bulk head fittings. Hope this helps!
Sick!
We agree!
you did it awesom, how much for a job like that?
Hello, unfortunately, we do not provide any installation services at this time. Have a great weekend!
@@ePoolSupply ok, thanks for your videos, habe a good day…
How long to let the glue dry before running the pool again … noob here haha
Depending on the type of glue you buy. Most are 30 min sets. Some I’ve seen take an hour.
should be using 45 ends, not 90
Great advice!
