Sand Filters for Swimming Pools

Swimming Pool Filters         

Sand – The bullet proof filter
Water is pushed through a bed of filter sand and removed through a set of lateral tubes at the bottom. The filter area of a sand filter is equal to the area of the filter itself. For example, a 24” filter will have 3.14 sqft of filter area. Only the top 1” of sand is actually used to filter the water. The principle behind this filter is that water is pushed through the filter sand, somewhat like an espresso machine. Dirty water goes in the top and clean water exits out the bottom. As the filter sand becomes plugged with debris from the pool, the pressure increases on the filter and the water flow drops. In order to clean the filter, you just run it in reverse and dump the waste water; this is referred to as “backwashing” the filter. Once the filter is backwashed, you move to the rinse mode and that repacks the sand and then back to filter. This has to be done manually every few weeks. From a hydraulics standpoint, a backwash valve is typically the most inefficient piece of equipment you can add to a swimming pool system. Should the sand ever become really dirty, it is easily and inexpensively replaced. In terms of particle size filtered out, sand is the lease effective method – it can allow smaller particles to pass back into the pool.
Sand filters use specially graded sand as the filter media. The water enters the tank through the diffuser. As the water goes down through the bed of sand, the dirt and debris is trapped between the grains of sand. When the water reaches the bottom of the filter, it enters the laterals and is returned to the pool.
Sand filters filter out debris down to about 40 microns in size. Anything smaller than 40 microns will probably not be filtered out.
Maintenance Of pool Filters
we have found that after five years, your sand has worn enough to allow dirt to penetrate so deep that normal backwashing doesn't clean it completely. The result is shorter filter cycles which requires more frequent backwashing. If you are not comfortable with plumbing work, contact a professional.
The first step in changing your sand is to remove the old sand.

1. To remove the old sand from your swimming pool filter, you will need to open the filter:
2. Filters with the multiport valve mounted on top will generally require disconnecting the plumbing running to the valve.

• If you do not have unions on these pipes, you will need to cut them to remove the multiport valve (this would be a good time to install unions on these lines to facilitate future service on your filter).
• Filters with the multiport valve mounted to the side will have either a small top which can be removed or a tank which is bolted/clamped in the middle that can be taken apart.

3. If your filter is a two-piece tank which is bolted/clamped in the middle:
• Pull the drain plug first to allow the water to drain before pulling the tank a part.
• Once you have pulled it apart, it is an easy matter to dig out the sand.
4. If your filter is not the two-piece type but has the small opening at the top from either the multiport valve or cover, there are two ways to remove the sand.

• The first and easiest way involves filters that have a plug at the bottom that allows the sand to flow out.
• This is usually a larger plug and your winterizing drain plug is threaded into it.
• By removing this plug, you can use your garden hose to wash out the sand from the tank onto the ground.
• If you have a single piece tank that does not have the type of drain plug that allows the sand to drain out, you will have to dig out the sand through the top with a cup.
• First, you will want to pull the drain plug to allow the water to drain out.
• If you have a top mounted multiport valve, there will be a stand pipe directly in the center of the opening. Do not try to push or pull this out of the way. It is very easy to break off the laterals which are connected to this.
• Dig out the sand with a small cup.
• Once you have dug out enough sand to expose the laterals, you will be able to move the stand pipe out of the way.
• If your valve is side-mounted, you will have an overdrain which fills the opening at the top. This overdrain is removable and, most of the time, simply unscrews.
• You can then rotate the pipe it is connected to by moving it to the side and out of the way.
• There are some cases where the overdrain is glued to its pipe. In this case, you will need to rotate the pipe with overdrain out of your way.

Now dig out the sand

1. Digging out the sand is best accomplished with a plastic cup - not a shovel!
2. You need to be careful when digging not to break the laterals of your underdrain. These are fragile and can be easily broken if you are not careful. This is why you do not want to use a shovel.

Once you have removed all the sand you will want to clean and examine the laterals thoroughly.

• Most laterals will unscrew, allowing easy removal from the tank for cleaning and examining.

There are some laterals which snap in but these are only on two-piece tanks.

• In this case, you will be able to remove the entire underdrain assembly in one piece.
• If these are glued in, you will not be able to pull them off, so don't try! They break easily.
• Be sure to check the laterals for any signs of breakage, and replace them if necessary.
• You can soak them in a mixture of muriatic acid and water if there is a lot of dirt impacted in them. Be sure to rinse thoroughly afterwards.
• Now rinse out the tank and re-install the clean lateral

• First, replace the underdrain assembly.
• Then add water until the tank is half-full. This will cushion the laterals when you put the new sand in.
• After adding each bag of sand, reach in and level out the sand bed.
• You will need to add as much sand as the manufacturer indicates on the label on the tank. If the label is gone, consult your swimming pool professional.
• Some labels call for pea gravel, however you can usually substitute sand in place of gravel if you wish (sand weighs approximately 150 pounds to the cubic foot if the amount is in cubic feet and not pounds).
• After you have added the proper amount of sand, you will need to reassemble the filter tank and/or multiport valve.

It is very important that you start the system in backwash mode. This will flush out the dust from the sand and also allow the sand to settle completely around the laterals after backwashing.
SKIMMER FOR SWIMMING POOL

A swimming pool skimmer includes a pressure chamber connected to the pump return. Water is discharged from the pressure chamber, through a nozzle located immediately below the surface water intake of the skimmer, and induces a strong counter-current flow toward the skimmer, with an attendant multiplication of the skimmer's zone of influence. A feeder of purifying chemicals may be combined with the skimmer. Water under pressure is supplied to the feeder whenever the pump, and hence the skimmer is in operation. As a consequence, the water level in the feeder is raised to cause immersion and dissolution of the chemicals, and their spill-over while in solution into the water passing through the skimmer. When the pump is not operating, the water level of the feeder drops below the chemicals receiver. The chemicals thus dissolve only when the pump and skimmer are operating. Desirably, pressure water for the feeder is supplied through a branch or auxiliary tube extending from the pressure chamber.
