this dude is so efficient. millions of ppl like him in this country that works clean and efficient. Without ppl like Jim this country would be in the tubes. If i were ever elected president I would create a program where people like Jim visit all the schools in the country from west coast to east and teach them good common sense instilling honest hard work. too many people look for short cuts. Then scratch their heads when things fall short!

Hey Jim. Just purchased our first family home... Has a pool with a sand filter. In NZD the pool service people want to charge NZD $570 which is USD $390. Thanks for this video mate, saved me $400 NZD doing it myself. Couldn't be happier thanks. PS - I've tried USA beer while traveling there. Here in NZ we would need four of your beers to get close to one of ours :). Thanks again and subscribed.

The best were the ball style stainless steel filters. It came apart with a threaded top. Tip it over and wash the sand out with a hose. Used muriatic acid to clean the calcium out after sand removal. I would drop a PVC fitting over the center pipe and pour the sand in. Old sand went on to the lawn.

Okay, we tried doing it with the water still in there because my husband said it was easier for the sand to travel up the hose and into the shop vac. Unsurprisingly, that just made it fill up with water that we would have to drain probably 10 times more often than we should have.

I reused the old sand, I created a little sluice box with my wagon and filled it with water and all the contamination floated to the top, I just tipped it and drained it off, it took about 4 times and about 15 min. Then I scooped the sand back in. Works like a charm.

Installer had mangled the end of center pipe, I guess to get it to fit. We used hair dryer to expand the surround and gave it a good pull once removed from filter. All good now. Your vid gave us confidence to change sand ourselves. Thx

Hi Jim. Did you put a specific type of filter in your vac? I tried a contraption similar to a dust collector to hook up between my shop vac and the sand, but I'm thinking that is going to take a long time. I have 300 lbs of sand to get out. I might just go straight shop vac like you, but I don't want to chance having sand going into the motor.
