The backwash valve having a normal position and a backwash position. The backwash filtering system having an inlet and an outlet and a filter element disposed between the inlet and outlet, the outlet connected to the pump inlet. The debris is held behind and the clean water is returned to the swimming pool.Ī Swimming pool sand filter which separates backwash contaminates from the backwash water so that the may be discarded separately, for connecting to a standard pool filtration system, having a pump with a pump inlet and a pump outlet, a sand filter having a sand filter inlet and a sand filter outlet, and having a pool return and a pool skimmer connected to the pump inlet, comprising: a backwash valve and a backwash filtering system. As the water flows through, dirt and debris are collected and removed from the water. This allows the pool water to “rain down” and flow through the media.
Sand is contained in a vessel or tank, water is pumped into the top of the tank, and into the internal distributor. This type of product uses sand as a means to collect and remove debris from a body of water. Swimming pool sand filter are one of the ways to keep your pool crystal clear and clean. Categories Pool filters, Pool repairs Tags adapter, Baker Hydro, filter, o-ring, PVC, sand filter, stainless steel Post navigation We are certainly not fans of Baker Hydro sand filters. The end result? The filter will keep going for a few more years and when the bulkhead adapter breaks, it’s into the filter graveyard and time to replace it with a filter that is more tolerant of generic parts. We can even recycle the stainless steel parts after the sand filter is laid to rest – a good buffing and they’re ready for the next repair job. The pair of collars we had made for this filter cost us around $30, which is not much more than we would have paid if we had bought original PVC parts and added in the shipping.
We figure the original only lasts a few years anyway so get it repaired once and it’s fixed for good (or at least until the filter dies). Parts are not easily accessible and we tend to get the odd parts custom turned in stainless steel, which will never let us down. Unscrewing the bulkhead collar once or twice is even enough to cause the adapter to start breaking. The walls of the adapter are made paper thin to accomodate a sunken o-ring and tend to perish and disintegrate after a few years. We get called out for the same filter problem several times a year despite the relative rarity of Baker Hydro filters. Once again we had a battle with a Baker Hydro sand filter leaking from the threaded adaptor at the bulkhead.
