How to start your sand filtration system for the first time

for my first time building an above ground, youre the ONLY ONE who explain what goes where 😂 great in depth video THANK YOU!!!

How do I empty the basket? There is always water pressure and i cant figure out how to stop the water, even with the pump off.

Is it normal to have air bubbles in the filter or does it need to be water 💦. If that makes sense

Always turn it clock wise, never counter clockwise.

I have a question, what’s your phone number above ground pool builder ????

If you shut off the valves where does the back wash water come from?

Where can I buy the valve setup you have?

Always rinse the sand after backwash before going back to normal filtration

You forgot to mention to rinse after backwashing. So most people who will watch this clip, will get nowhere.

It's letting air OUT of the system not IN the system.

How did you do those valves?

Starting a salt water pool, how much sand do I need to add?

What is a pool frog? Is that the original pump?

Thank you !

Short and sweet

Waterway sand filter 19" 1.0 hp

My brand new pool is not working and I have no idea why or how to fix it. 0 PSI, no suction from skimmer nor main drain. Filter mode leaks from waste pipe. No leaks anywhere. Water is midway on skimmer. Flap is moving. I just have no clue what to do. Bypass to waste does work but also does it on filter.

I forgot to add water into the tank when I filled it up with sand, can I add water at the pump ? Or should I “prime it “

Thank you for making it so simple. My dad always did this but he passed unexpectedly and I've never had to. I was lost until now!

You forgot to rinse before going back to filter. Rinse resets the sand.

Thank you!

Do you put water in the tank where the sand goes before you do all of this?

Very helpful video! Thx

What if you don't have your shut-off valves installed at the skimmer and at the return? Will you still be able to backwash or do you have to have the shut-off valves in order to do?

I just installed a 16” TWM Waterway sand filter and when I turn the dial to anything other than closed, water pours out of the backwash line. Any idea what’s going on? I am new to sand filters. Thanks

Excellent video guys!! Thanks
