18x33 abg pool what size sand filter

[tenax]

are you saying that it works fine when you hook the 100 pounder filter back up or not? one suggestion if you didn't do when adding sand to a filter is to put some water in first..that way the sand floats down more gently as you add it. less risk of damaging the laterals or knocking them out of position.

yes Im saying the old filter stops vacuuming to after about 3 mins,yes I did add some water first.Im ready to just give up on this pool thing
