The light went on, I know what clamp he is talking about now. lol. Yes, do that, alternate until it is snug, there is an oring there that makes the seal right, all the clamp does it tell it to stay put.

SWEET!!! THNKS! One more thing, Like I said this is a new filter, do I let the pump fill the filter qith water, or do I need to fill the filter with water befor I put the valve on?

Re: pool newbie with new sand filter questtions
The pump will fill the filter and any trapped air will bleed out. Tighten up everything and fire the pump. May take several minutes for the air to escape but that is normal.

Re: pool newbie with new sand filter questtions
really quick... I was looking at the fitting on the pool, and the valve to change between skimmer and main drain. I noticed that the fittings are or look like they can be 2 sizes. Currebtly and prior to new filter I has 1 1/4" hoses. The fittings that are on seem to be both 1 1/2" and 1 1/4". They look like step downs. Can I just cut the end off of the fitting and make it 1 1/2"?
Re: pool newbie with new sand filter questtions
yes - I was just told by the system that I need to put at least 10 characters in here, so yes yes yes!
