DE? English Please lol 😂

You may have dead algae, mustard algae is very fine and looks like sand. If your pool was green and is now clear then it’s probably dead algae which will be all over the floor of the pool. If it was sand from the filter it will only accumulate at the bottom under each return jet in the pool and not all over the pool. In order to remove this sediment you need to vacuum to waste, because if you vacuum in the filter position it is so fine that it will go through the filter and back into the pool. When you vacuum to waste you will have to add water to the pool. Once you are done with this then you will vacuum the pool in the filter position for normal vacuuming and cleaning.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies my pool was never green, but that does sound like maybe what it is. I can try to do it to waste. I also brought a separate tool that I use. It’s a handheld vacuum that works very fine but I’m still getting accumulations in the pool. maybe I need to post a picture of what it looks like.

Normally you should not see sand in the sight glass but this can happen. You want to keep a close watch, if this continues or this gets worse then you may need to check the laterals inside your filter. If you have a damaged lateral or laterals inside the tank then sand will go back into the pool. If this is the case, l do sell all these parts and if you need help email your contact info and l will be glad to help. My email is on my RUclips channel. Thanks for watching.

Are you sure it's sand? Sometimes algae can look like sand. If it's sand, brushing won't disperse the sand and itll stay solid If it disburses and you can't see it after brushing, it's algae

@@listen4159 its vaccums up. So I assume its sand.

@@YRREBLRAK that's not a very good tale. Sand and algae can be vacuumed. Need to do the above to ensure it's not just algae

It must be alge but it looks brown.

You can still prime your pump it may just take a little longer. If you install valves on the skimmer and drain lines it will be much easier and you can also regulate each line, especially when you vacuum. Thanks for watching.

There are a lot of questions that l have. (Size of pump, filter, number of skimmers and the type of pool and the equipment that you have etc.) In order to help you better, check out my patreon page where l can work with you one on one. I not only do phone sessions but l also do virtual service calls and l can even help with the leak that you have. If you need this l will be glad to help. Thanks for watching.

If you don’t have a skimmer then you will have an outlet on the side of the pool which is your suction outlet. Your hose will go from the suction outlet directly to the suction side of the pump. The hose on top of the pump goes to the multiport of the filter if you have a sand filter. The return outlet on the multiport has a hose that will go to the return on the pool (this is the pressure line). You should have instructions with your pool that will show how to hook up everything. You can also contact Coleman and talk to customer support for help. Thanks for watching.

It’s fine if water gets behind the liner, the water will not get trapped and will dry. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies again, thank you!!!!

Yes, you can vacuum to waste and bypass the filter but you will have to add water to the pool. When you are done vacuuming you can put the filter in the recirculate position. In recirculate you are not filtering the water but you can at least move the water in the pool until the new filter is installed. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies okay, thank you so much!

The lateral assembly needs to be at the bottom of the filter. In order to get the assembly in place you will have to remove the sand and start over. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies I figured thanks for the response. Any tips on keeping it centered at the bottom when filling with sand?

On most filters there is a notch at the bottom of the filter to set the lateral assembly. Once in place, hold the lateral assembly down while pouring in the sand.

Starving the pump. Thanks for watching.

Yes, most people that have troubled areas around the pool will use liner lock (screen molding) or nickels as a wedge to help hold the liner in place. However, if the liner is locked in good it should not come out of the track. Thanks for watching.

If you are vacuuming a pool that was algae infested or you had mustard algae, but the pool is clear now then you would want to vacuum the sediment to waste. Vacuuming to waste will bypass the filter, however you will have to add water to the pool. Once this fine sediment is out of the pool then you will vacuum in the filter position for normal vacuuming and cleaning. Thanks for watching.

We have vacuumed to waste, as well as vacuumed with independent vacuums that aren’t attached to the filter. The sand (or potentially algae) always returns to the bottom of the pool after the filter has been running for a few hours. Is it possible the new lateral is broken? Or can the algae be returning when the filter is on? Thank you!

Fine sediment should be vacuumed to waste. Dead algae or mustard algae is so fine it will go through the filter back into the pool. Do not use an automatic cleaner because it will stir up the sediment and it will also run through the cleaner back into the pool. Once all this fine sediment is out of the pool you will be fine. I believe that your filter is good, if one of the laterals is broke then you would have a lot of sand at the bottom of each return jet in the pool. If this sediment is all over the floor of the pool it is dead algae and it looks like sand. Sand will only accumulate at the floor under the return jets of the pool, not the whole entire pool.

Because the valve is under pressure you can not seal it because it will eventually leak. If the valve has a pin hole or crack in it then you will need to replace the whole valve. Because the hub or body of the valve is damaged, replacing the valve will be cheaper than buying just the body. If you need a valve l do sell the valve as well as all the parts. If you email your contact info, l will be glad to help. My email is on my RUclips channel. Thanks for watching.

By code pumps that plug in are supposed to be 110V. Once you have determined the voltage from the supply then you can change the setting on the motor. If you have a volt meter this will help determine what your feed is. You should have a schematic on the motor so you can convert from 110V to 220V. The newer pumps have a switch in the back of the motor which will allow you to convert from 110V to 220V. Thanks for watching.

I do know maytronics who makes dolphin cleaners have cordless units. I like plug in because they have constant power and are more powerful. If you need help l do sell these cleaners. If you would like to email your contact info l will be glad to help. Thanks for watching.

No, however it can happen. If you recently changed sand this can happen. Watch it and if it continues to get sand or it gets worse then you may have to check the laterals inside the filter. If it stops then you should be fine. Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much and thanks for watching.

I have all the parts for this valve to include the valve linked down below in the description of this video. If you need help, email your contact info and l will be glad to help. Thanks for watching.

Sand on average is replaced in the filter about every 3 to 5 years. As far as backwashing and rinsing the filter, you will backwash and rinse the filter on average during the swimming season about every 7 to 10 days. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies thank you but I'm referring to a chemical cleaning of the sand.

It depends on the type of chemicals you are using, you can chemically treat and clean the sand on a yearly basis. If not your sand will be fine and in 3 to 5 years from now just change it. Changing the sand with new is always better than cleaning.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies thank you

Without knowing your water balance, l would recommend that you have your pool water tested at your local pool store. They should be able to help. Thanks for watching.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies OK...I'll get that done...thank you so much for responding 😊🙏

Yes, thanks for watching.

If the pump was fully primed before and during the backwash and rinse procedure then the pump should maintain prime. The first thing l would check is the water level in the pool. I would also check your skimmer basket and the skimmer’s weir door. Make sure the basket is not clogged and the weir is not stuck. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies all that’s been done Mark, possibly a blockage somewhere 🤔

If you put your filter in the recirculate position and the pump runs good then the issue is the filter. You may need to backwash and rinse again or change the sand. If in the recirculate position the pump is not wanting to prime then the issue may be with the pump. If the pump’s impeller is clogged or restricted this can happen.

Which o-ring are you referring to?

The one that goes on the motor thing for u put strainer pot basket on where u screw it from the motor was the last one u put on then the basket on that one mine leaks there and don’t have a o ring did not know u had to have one til I seen this so gonna try to see if it will fix mine

I believe l know which o-ring you are referring to, here is the link for this o-ring. To make sure, email your contact info and l will be glad to help. My email is on my RUclips channel. Thanks www.hallmarkpoolsupplies.com/p-3723-slide-valve-plug-bulkhead-oring.aspx

There could be other levels off so it's best to get your water professionally tested at a pool store. If the pool is getting cloudy, that is usually an indication that the free chlorine is low. However, I would recommend a cal-hypo shock over liquid shock (stronger). In regards to the salt, only add salt if your level has dropped below recommended level, to much salt is not good either. Thanks for watching.

You should be able to remove the standpipe from the multiport valve. Wiggle the pipe or use a pair of channel locks but be careful. Once you have removed the standpipe you can lightly sand and lube the end of the standpipe. You can also lube the underside of the valve where the standpipe goes in. This will allow the standpipe to go back in easily, and it will also help in the removal of the standpipe down the road. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies: Hey Mark! The channel locks worked great and I was able to get the pipe off and changed out the sand. I also lubed up both of the pieces for easier access next time out. Thanks again. Paul

When I search for Cari-flow valve, it always leads me to the whole assembly. All I need is the metal shaft part that has the spider gasket. Why does Amazon say they have just the gasket?

Vari-flow

At one time you could order just the gasket for the diverter on a 714 T top mount multiport ,Hayward no longer offers the gasket separate. Today the gasket is molded on to the diverter. If you have a 710 series side mount multiport then you can order the spider gasket by itself. You have to make sure that you are getting the right part or gasket that you need, because there is a difference. If you need help, email your contact info and l will be glad to help. My email is on my RUclips channel. Thanks for watching.

I just sent you an email, inquiring about the key assembly, how much it costs, and does it have the O rings installed on the shaft, as well as the spider gasket? I live in S Florida, and I need it soon, so I won’t have to fight an algae war after repairing the valve, lol!

I made a video on changing the sand with this exact filter. l do show how to remove the valve and how to replace after changing the sand, hopefully this will help. Thanks for watching.
