Just that easy huh?

You know how I changed my sand filter the last 7 years? I turned the pump off and flipped the lever to the backwash setting for 2 minutes, then rinse setting, then back to pump.

Zero searching for tools.

Zero getting wet and muddy fumbling around opening bands and scraping knuckles on the concrete trying to get the damn drain plug off with channel locks.

Zero dragging the water hose over and spraying nasty shite all over myself and the yard.

Sorry but you aren't going to convince me this cartridge bullshite is anywhere close to easy like my sand filter.

Literally zero maintenance on that thing.

didnt realize less than 4 hours a year was that big of a deal when cartridge is much better for the pool long term

but i can understand how you think the sand filter is better, you think it takes hours to clean the cartridges.

You know how many times we spend cleaning those cartridges in a year? Once, maybe twice if I'm super bored. Takes about an hour all in.

How many times you backwash? Weekly? You have a dedicated drain for the backwash or does it just spray everywhere?

No busted knuckles, no water spraying everywhere. Not wasting water and chemicals out of my pool throughout the year.

The other thing is sand filter only filters down to 30 microns. My cartridges will filter down to 10. My water will polish better than yours all day everyday. No chemical will change that.
