When should I change the sand in my filter?
Reply
You should change the sand in your filter every 5-7 years. You can generally tell that it is time if your pool water is not as clear as it normally is or when you notice the interval between backwashes is shorter. You can use > this guide to walk you through it.

Our pool is 30,000 gallons concerned the TA-60D is too small is the TA-100D over kill???

Hi JoAnn, If you can go larger on the filter it is always recommended as you put less stress on your motor prolonging its life. The filter can also filter out more debris and gives you more time between cleanings.

Besides the top valve, what is the difference between this and the Triton series? Is one better than the other?
Thanks

Hi, David. The location of the valve is the main difference between the Tagelus and Triton filters. The Trition filters are also has a UV-resistant surface to prevent fading.

I have a Tegelus TA-1000D filter and it is leaking water out of the backwash pipe. I think I need a new gasket. Do you have a part number?
Please advise.

The spider gasket for the multiport valve is dependant on the model of the valve. You can call in and provide that model so we can cross reference that for you or if that model number is not legible then you can always take a few pictures of it to upload@inyopools.com so we can assist.

I have TA100D. This does not have a pressure relief valve. Can you explain why. How am I supposed to clean the pump basket without pressure relief and without introducing water into the basket
Thx

Hi Eugene, the multiport valve that comes with the filter does have an air relief valve located on the side of it.

Have Tagalus100d. No air bleeder valve on the filter. How am i supposed to decompress it when priming the pump?
Reply
Hi Eugene, another way to release the water when priming the pump is by placing the multiport valve in the waste position before priming the pump and once it releases water while the prime fills with water to then turn off the pump, place the valve back into the filter position then turn the pump back on.
