If you are getting sand back into the pool from what you have described and there are no holes in the lateral fittings then the gasket on your multiport valve is worn out and needs to be changed.

SOURCE: sand is in pool after backwash

A little sand is normal, called a puff back. Anything more then a good pinch of sand is a problem If its a lot of sand you can check the following.
1. O-ring in side the filter valve when standpipe inserts is intact. Make sure that standpipe is not cracked and seats well into valve.
2. check spyder gasket inside filter head. (looks like a wagon wheel) if it is loose or is pulling up it will need to replaced or re-siliconed. A good indication of this being the problem is if water is leaking from backwash port.
3. Check hoses to make sure that the to pool, to pump conections have not been reversed, if this was case you would get a lotta sand into pool. (can empty tank)

SOURCE: HAYWARD SAND FILTER, PRO SERIES: sand is getting into the pool whan the filter is r...

Have you tried backwashing recently? If so, I would first check to make sure that your pool filter is on the "filter" setting and has not been changed. Next, i would evaluate your filter pressure to make sure that it is at an acceptable level. Finally, check your sand. If it is extremely dirty or has not been replaces in a long time, it might be time for fresh, more effective sand.

SOURCE: We have a hayward sand filter for our 24ft round

its more likley to be too much sand in it and its just cloged up,,,take the sand out and run the pump out of the pool in a big tub of water to flush it out and also to back flush it,,,if its working ok after that fill it up with the right type of sand but only a little at a time,,,,
i dont think the phosphates are a problem its not being filterd thats the problem this needs sorting out fast or the pool will fill up with algy and green slim

Pump is blowing cloudy water back into pool

Cloudy water is the bane of sand filters!. I suggest letting filter run day and night. Do not backwash until the pressure rises 8 - 10 pounds above clean starting pressure. Do not try to vacuum or stir up the sediment. when water clears, vacuum to waste. Keep the hose running while vacuuming. A dirty filter is a better filter (up to a point). At a higher pressure the filter will trap more of the fine particles that are clouding your water.

Davey tagelus 230 high rate sandfilter how do i change the sand

Once you have removed the plumbing connections and the top selector plate you can then unscrew the top from the main filter body, This is not easy and you will have to use a 5 lb hammer (lumpy) and a block of wood as the top has been siliconed to the body and made a tight fit. Be very careful with the hammering and make sure you only put the wood against a solid part of the top near a plumbing joint before applying the hammer to the end of the wood. There are about 6 complete turns before the top part is unscrewed. The threads will need to be cleaned and the old silicone removed and clean the sealing gasket "o" ring before putting back. My model did not have an "fingers" at the bottom of the central stalk. I believe the filter should be filled 2/3 with the proper filter sand grade 16/30
Hope this helps

Need to put sand filter up for the winter what do i need to do?

Drain the water from the filter and pump housing. With the water out of the filter, you can now shore the filter near the pool or in your near by shed or garage.

I dont kno how to operate to open the pool. Please help

You can go to the Hayward web site and download the manual and parts list. They also will trouble shoot basic issues over the phone. Here is the manual website: http://www.hayward-pool.com/prd/In-Ground-Pool-Manuals_10201_10551_14502_-1_17009__I.htm
Here is the main page for help. You will need to register to get a live person. http://www.haywardnet.com/contactus/
Air leaks are the enemy here. Check all unions and valves. Also, if you are handy you can replace the impeller and seal on the motor. If you are getting sand blown into the pool, you will need to remove the sand and inspect the fingers inside the tank. Replace sand carefully so as to not damage fingers. If the pump will not stay primed, recheck for air leaks. That should be enough to get you started. Download everything and study it, then call tech support after you have tried the basics. Good Luck!

How do i change the sand in the hayward model sp 711

Hello, 1 You need to unscrew the drain plug and screen (if it is still there!) at the base of the filter. 2 You can reclaim most of the sand by letting the filter drain through a sieve (lots of work) or use new sand. 3 Uncouple union joints or couplers that attach to filter head. 4 Remove filter head. 5 You can try pulling some sand out of the top. However, do not damage the filter fingers in the sand. 6 Use a hose to blast the sand out the bottom drain. 7 Inspect all fingers, replace if necessary. 8 After all is cleaned out, place finger mount inside filter. Cover top of mount with a cup or similar to keep the new sand out of the finger assembly. 9 Replace drain plug and screen. 10 Fill filter halfway with water. 11 Slowly pour sand in and spread evenly. 12 Remove mount cover. 13 Reinstall head, unions and couplings. 14 Prime pump and test for leaks.
Good Luck

We had a lot of rain and mud got in the pool. i vacuumed the pool twice and the third time i vacuumed it, i put the filter on "waste" instead of keeping it on "filter". it cleaned up very well that way...

You may have to change the sand from to much mud. this requires removing the valve from the top and syphoning the sand with a "sand changer" then removing the latterals from the bottom.( they unscrew from the hub inside the filter and cleaning them. Return the correct the amount of sand covering the tube shaft that connects the valve to the hub sot he sand doesnot clog the flow again. Return valve to the top and it should flow freely again.

How do i know when it's time to add/change the sand?

You sand should last many many years if you clean it at least yearly. You can buy a chemical from your pool supply to clean it. Normally you don't need to add any. If you ever allow your pool to get very low ph it can actually disolve sand though. A little trick if you're too cheap and lazy to change all the sand is ususally only the top of the sand gets very dirty. If you open your filter, you can scoop out about 50 lbs from the top and only replace that. Be careful not to get sand in the down tube though.

Removing the fingers

I'm asuming you're asking how to remove the fingers after the sand is out? Some models just simply unscred from the central hub. Others, fold up to remove. You can download a manual for your exact model from www.hayward.com
