Ugggg...not excited to drop 600-700 bucks for a new filter but I may have to...do you think if there is still sand in it that it may work until next season? Pretty easy to make the switch out otherwise? Probably could change the chlorinator without issues here soon and the piping to 2 inch asap also...the filter is just a big expense that im not sure I can afford at this point though...
Thank u so much for all your help again

[Andyman33]

please help ASAP!! I can't seem to get to the inside of my filter to even see if there is sand...I have the inlet and outlet pipes disconnected as well as the backwash pipe disconnected. I cannot for the life of me get off the top of the filter --- do I just keep twisting? It wont' even budge ---- I have opened the air and water tubes -- even took off the screws that hold the switcher on -- please help me!!

[Andyman33]

still unable to get this done...anyone with some help?

Let me get Ben's or Al's attention back to this thread--they're much better with equipment than I, but don't want you to think we're ignoring you...

I'm afraid I've never seen that filter, and don't really know anything about how to get it apart.

Sorry.

[Andyman33]

ok, so as you guys suspected...the filter gave out...water came out the middle. In any case, nwo we need to do the repairs as you suggested. BUT I cannot really find the pentair tr30. Is there a link you can give me to help me buy it? Is there another option I have? thanks for everything

I was being stupid: I meant the 24" Pentair TR60 or the 30" TR100, not the fictitious TR24 or TR30.
