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.

How often do I have to replace the sand in my filter? What is normal operating pressure?
Reply
On a "fresh start-up" a filter would operate anywhere between 10-20 psi. As a general rule of thumb you only want to backwash when the pressure increases 8-10 psi. You want to make certain that the pump is being turned off whenever you move the handle on the valve. Once backwashing is complete (3-5 minutes), you can switch to the rinse option to re-settle the sand bed. Sand will typically last 5-7 years. Premature backwashing will wear down the size of the sand which will cause difficulties such as cloudy water and higher operating pressures.

I currently have a Jacuzzi DE filter, can I replace this with a Sand filter and what are the advantages or disadvantages of DE vs Sand?
Reply
Yes you can go from a D.E. filter to sand but just keep in mind that you will be going from the best filtration to the least efficient. Also the sand filter may not be able to handle as much pressure. Sand is common in the north east market though. At least consider a cartridge filter which would be like taking the middle road.

Can I use this filter as a replacement for a SFTM 25. Why is it called a laser sand filter

Hi, This Jacuzzi Laser Sand Filter L250 can replace the Jandy SFTM25 filter. That's just the manufacturer's name of the filter.

Would the L250-7C 25inch be powerful enough for an inground pool size 20 X 40

Hi Harold, The Laser L250 Can filter 31,700 gallons of water in an 8 hour time frame. if your 20' x 40' is less than 31,700 gallons this will be sufficient for your pool or you will need to run it longer.
