This is the time of year when you should be thinkiung about getting you pool equipment ready for the summer months. Summer will be here before you know it. Things are not so hectic the time of year. The holidays are past and the play season hasn’t started. Use the time to replace any broken parts on your sand filter and change the sand in the filter.
For the man who thinks he has everything, here is one more item to add to the list. And it is useful too! A sand filter sand vac for removing the sand sounds silly, but when you use it, you will love it.
The sand in your sand filter should be changed at least every three years. Changing it every year is even better. One of the main reasons for not changing the sand is that it is a back breaking job. It is messy. It is time consuming. and in general it is no fun!
The sand filter vac attaches to a garden hose and allows you to remove the sand from the sand filter easily. There is less chance of breaking the sand filter laterals. It is easier to maneuver in the small opening.
