In this video we show how to change pool filter sand media in our Intex Sand Filter.
Sand is a durable and long lasting filter media, but ours had not been replaced in many years. Silica Sand as a filter media lasts 3-5 years depending on how much you run your filter, and over time the edges wear smooth and are not able to trap small debris in the water.
0:00 Project Intro
0:10 Disconnecting plumbing/draining water from sand filter
0:57 Removing the Sand Filter Valve assembly
1:37 Inspecting inside of the sand filter
1:54 Removing old sand with Shop Vac
2:23 Rinsing to remove remaining sand
3:06 Replacing the sand media
4:12 Adding ZeoSand (zeolite)
5:32 Inspecting/reassembly sand filter valve
7:17 Reconnecting plumbing
7:31 Project summary
After doing some research I decided to replace my old sand with Zeolite. Zeolite is porous and has greater surface area than sand and is lighter by volume by 50%. So to replace the 100 lbs. of sand I removed it would only require 50 lbs. of "ZeoSand".
After adding ZeoSand media to your sand filter, rinse and backwash very thoroughly.

First impression of the filtering capability is that I am very impressed. Just a week since replacing my sand with ZeoSand, my pool water is clearer than it has been in the last couple years. I had reached a point where even after shocking the pool it wouldn't be crystal clear.
