Sand in pool after backwash/rinse

[wizzardz]

Decided to pull the top off the filter and check the laterals/sand/etc since the pool refused to clear up. Valve assembly pretty much lifted out easy enough...almost too easy.



Besides the tube being broken, I pulled the rest of the old laterals and they were just crusted over and one was missing. Fortunately I had decided to get new laterals and sand. The filter is draining very slowly so I'll have to wait overnight before I start pulling the old sand.

Whats the best couplings to use on the PVC to allow easy disconnections in the future?
