When the filter head is removed, you can see the life left in the filtration sand.
This filter badly needed a change & also the level of sand is down considerably. Every 3-5 years a change is recommended. The pipe you see in the middle is called the lateral assembly. They become very brittle over time so we install a new unit at the time of exchanging the filtration sand.
Once this procedure is completed you will notice a considerable increase with suction when vacuuming your pool. The clarity of the water will be quite noticeably better also.
