Do I need to disassemble and empty the sand filter to get the old valve off and connect the new valve?

No, you have threaded connectors that will attach to the filter body. However you will have a bit of a plumbing job in connecting your existing input, return and waste water lines to the unit itself.

No you don't. You only have to unscrew the 2 big nuts from the sand filter & disconnect your hoses.

I have the same sand filter and have recently installed a lateral assembly SX244DA. It is working just fine

You need to loosen the connectors and insert the new valve. If there are no connectors you will have to cut the pipe and put in a union. Not a big job.

take the screws off and and cover plate clean the inside. lube up the o ring. if the screws are stripped you might have to replace the valve. these valves do have a lifetime warranty. but they only replace the insides. like I say if the screws are stripped you will need to replace. and it's a pain.

yes, just give it a shot of liquid wrench before you remove the old one, clean well then replace.

Nope. It's just the valve. I had to transfer the old gauge and hose from my old air tanks valve to this new one.

Yes, you are only replacing the water valve assembly and will have to completely drain the Tank by turning off the water inlet valve to the holding Tank and soak the remaining water with a towel.

Remove the original coupler Take a 1/2 inch reducer to 3/8 or 1/4 And start with standard valves and quik couplers

Depends on the unit/ model number. The unit I have has a recess with an area your can put your fingers behind on the front and pull the door off. Make sure when you replace the filter, you put it in the correct position !! Before you remove the old one, take note what direction the arrows (flow direction) are facing. Put the new filter in the same way. Should take 1 minute TOPS !! FYI...put a piece of painters tape on the filter door and mark the date you replace it. Now your 'll be able to know exactly when it was done (I have a problem w/ memory..old age setting in). Good Luck !

The filter tank. Ones with the regular valve fittings (inlet/outlet). Your valve should easily connect to it. If your o-rings are worn out or scratched better get a set of new ones. Don't forget to grease the rubber seals before hocking the valve set into the filter unit.

No , read the manual and be careful to not get sand in the valve body. Use the fill tube that comes with it.

You have to tear off the shroud/hood to get at it. There are something like 3 or 4 screws holding it together. That's the hard part, but it isn't too difficult to hold it all with one hand while using a screw driver. Slide the old filter out, slide the new one in. Put the screws back in and you're done. I think I did find a manual on the Whirlpool web site that had a picture showing the location of the screws. Good luck.

They are not all standard. Maybe if you replaced an existing DE filter. I replaced an older sand filter and the in/out ports are different on this multivalve. Go to Hayward's website and see if ur current multi valve matches up with the valves listed for this model.

The package I received has an adapter, a t-connector, and two hoses that screw right up to your existing shutoff valve. Be sure to find the little plastic white washer that fits inside the female end that screws onto the shutoff valve. For some reason it was in a separate package. Anyway, connections can be installed with a little more than hand tightening due to the good seals from the built in gaskets in the rest of the hardware and included filter. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes for install.

Yes you will have to remove all plumbing to the top valve mechanism in order to remove it. Otherwise you won't be able to access the opening to get to the sand. I used rigid 2inch PVC pipes for all my plumbing with line break valves for when I do need to open it up but I suppose flexible will work as long as the connections are correct.

Yes... it is pretty easy though... You need to shut off the water valve that feeds the tank and unscrew from tank, flush to remove the water. I used a cup to scoop out the rest of the water then used a towel to get anything left. Unscrew the two screws in the bottom of the tank and lift the tank off. There is rubber gasket between the tank and the bowl- DO NOT THROW THIS OUT as this kit does not come with that gasket. Using the provided tool take off the large nut that holds the valve on. replace the valve and use the tool to tight. Put the other gasket in the hole and place the tank on the bowl. Fasten it with the screws and tighten. Replace the water intake. That's it... if things go well, about a half hour.
