Great video, I was kind of hoping to see some video or pictures for what this issue looks like though.

Thanks for the excellent video & for pointing out the older style of lateral screws in & doesn’t fold up like the newer model of lateral valves.

hi Mark like your comment inground pool jets work fine only when i connect the hose in the skimmer to vacuum the pool jets stop working thank you

Good helpful video

Liked the video just wished there had been some example pics of the sand vs dead algea.

Thank you

When I pulled up my valve assembly, like you suggested in your video; the central pipe and and lateral assembly also came up with it a few inches. Getting it back down without damaging the laterals seems impossible without some kind of vibrating device (maybe an oscillating saw without a blade on the outside of the filter?) to liquefy the sandy water and reseat the assembly on the base, so unless there’s a trick you know of, I imagine I have to wet dry vac the sand out and resettle the lateral assembly. Before I went down that path I thought I’d confirm my observation?

good sir thank you

Thanks!
