Does this work with a sand filter

Per the hubby, there are two models, one for sand and one for DE. The numbers are slightly different. Ask at a Pool supply store, or an online pool store, and have the model number of your sand filter handy.

I really don't know mine was DE. If the hook-ups match I don't see why it wouldn't, it's only a valve it doesn't know or care what the filter media is. If it were me and the connections match I would give it a try, if it don't work return it. Good luck!

Theresa, They are used on whats called D.E fIlters or Dieatamasus Earth. It's a fine white sandy type material. The side of your filter will give you this information. Good Luck let me know if you have other questions

Sediment filters are available for your filter housing. This filter will not fit as it is 2x the length of the HD type filter.

The pump that came with our pool is a sand filter and yes, this will work with a salt system. I bought the Intex Salt System to go with it and so far, it's working great.

Dont know. This filter will only work for a small pool reguardless what they claim. I finally went to a sand filter and the water is very clear and very little work to maintain it.

I don't believe it will! I believe it is a taste and sediment filter only! As far as I know the filtration of microbes or bacteria is beyond this filters capability!

Sure. But as with any gravel vac you may have to avoid digging the intake into the sand, which could stir it up and make a mess. I try to keep the vac an inch or so above my sand substate.

This is designed to fit inside of a cartridge filter. We used to place ours in the old clorinator we didn't use but it started leaking. It is not designed for sand filtration systems.

I am not sure which it would hook up to. We use it in a sanding area with a large air filtration above it. Sorry

It should but the filter doesn't last very long when there is a lot of sediment in the water. My Zerowater started to taste bad after a week.

I have an s240 sand filter. It was a perfect replacement. Came with all required fittings. Works like a charm.

my adapters were purchased for a pool. But when water wasn't clear I had to improve water circulation. I also have a filter pump and not sand Hope this helps.

Yes, but don't buy the sand at home depot or lowes. The sand is a specific grade, so read the instructions! This thing is heads and tails above the paper filter unit. It has required virtually zero maintenance all summer. I'm picky!

Yes, your pump/cartridge filter will work with it. When you say plug in are you talking about ion unit? This thing works good with our saltwater. And sand filter system. You could get a sand filter for a good price right now. 18' round how many gallons? We had has to use filterpump bypass when ionizer went out. We had to replace pump 16x32 15,000 gallons. Sand pump 2450 gallons per hour. 218.00 sand last up to 5 year without changing it. Filters ok but saltwater/sand filter best.

Hi KayI bought this part for I believe the same model sand filter. It was too large. the fingers had to be set at an angle inside the filter and we ended up cutting about four inches off the white pipe. It still works but it was not the correct part.

Mine came with sand filter. Holds up and works well Just dump 200lbs of salt in water

The sand is quite fine, it may fog the aquarium, or get into the filter. I see where it would look nice if it worked.

It NOT designed for a filter. Buy one of their Metal Frame sets. They come with a basic filter and have the proper access ports built-in. Once you decide you like the pool you buy and want keep it I'd also upgrade the filter to one of the sand filter units. Unlike the one they provide it will keep you pool clear all summer long for years to come. They also make another like called Ultra Frame where the sides are solid like they used to make them back in the 60's and 70's when filter were still not used.
