Re: Checking laterals in old Pac-Fab Triton TR60 filter? Sand blowing back into the p
Glad I can give back. Everyone here was so helpful to me last year, so I owe it to help others.
So, beware of where your hub spokes will end up when you put the hub back in. I was lucky enough to be able to turn the hub slightly so that I wouldn't have an issue with a lateral not clearing the filer drain valve at the bottom. I couldn't screw a lateral in the way I put it in, but twisted it while it was in the tank, such that it was clear of the drain.

Got it all back together, filled it with water to cover the laterals, slowly added 325 lbs of "new" sand, and started it up (ran it in filter for a minute, then backwash for 5 minutes, followed by a 2 minute rinse.) The initial startup blew done cloudiness into the pool, but it seems fine now.
The new motor seems to be working much better than the old one too. Debris is no longer floating by the skimmer any more!
