leave sand in filter?

Thanks for the info! I never would've thought about the pressure gauge!

I, too, remove the multiport valve and store it inside. I lube the gasket with teflon lube and seal it in a zip-lock with all the air pressed out. Actually, I do that with all the quick-release gaskets, too.

I drain the filter and cover it with a contractor grade garbage bag and duct tape it to keep it tight. I ONLY tape on the bag, not the filter.
