    Surely u dot. Have to open that up everyone to clean? I love sand due to the simplicity of back wash and rinse and every so often pour a cleaner into the skimmer to help clean sand

    Can you use sand instead of the balls?

      You sure can and think sand works better.

    Do you use a skimmer? I have the same pool and looking at getting the same filter. I have the standard pump and it's useless with a skimmer.

      I dont have a skimmer and you are right the standard pump is rubbish. I got a sand filter and the flow rate is much better.

      @@paulinewilson5068 Zero is normal as the filtration goes via balls full of water only what is much easier than through sand so pressure around 0 is normal. I have it 0, only during backwash/rinse I see higher pressure than 0. Yes, they say backwash is not "supported", same as using washing machine but google is full of information users wash it there without problems, on low temperatures. Btw. by reading between lines it seems backwash is not supported only because the sand filters don't have enough "power" to clean them up by backwash process, not that it will harm anything.

    When we add the polysphere do we add water aswell?

  • @silvia-mihaelagramada1823
    @silvia-mihaelagramada1823 Год назад +1

    After adding the balls in a brand new filter, do I have to top them up with water all the way up to the MAX sign and then turn it on? Or do I leave it without water? I did try it without and it doesn’t work. Just wanted to make sure.
