I opened up my sand filter and now have a couple questions

Hi, Ryan,

As usual, Al's the "go to" guy on this stuff. Since you're this far along in disassembly, I think changing the sand just to inspect the laterals (that's the fingers on the bottom) is probably worth the extra effort, as well.

I'd go to Pac-Fab's tech support for the proper level but right where you are is probably pretty close. Perhaps a little low but not enough to hurt.

Again, I think Al's on the money about perhaps gluing your top "distributor" or "sprayer" rather than buying new. It's not a precision part and can stand a little "irregularity".

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to go ahead and change the sand. I'll head to the pool store over the weekend. I'm sure they will try to sell me some super-duper special sand.
I'll let you all know if I have any questions about the laterals. Hopefully they are in good shape.
I'll also throw some glue on the input feeder/distributor/sprayer or what ever it's called. JB-Weld is my favorite new toy to gluing stuff together.

Thanks again
Ryan
