I have that horrible zeosand in my 18" sandman filter now, how do I remove it and put regular sand in the filter? Do I vacuum it out with a shop vac/
Reply
Shirley, Once you've drained all of the water out of the filter, you can use a wet/dry shop vac to remove the old sand out of your filter.

I have a brand new ne6150. the 3' hose leaks and I need he backwash hose that does not come with it. where can I find these hoses?

Hi Cindy, We do carry the 1-1/2" x 3' Filter Connection Hose and Backwash Hose, you can click on the link description.

All of the hoses on our new Sandman filter are 1 1/2", but the fittings on the valve are 1 1/4". The two cannot connect with a clamp without leaking much water. Are we missing a connector or something?
Reply
Carol, Typically, the hose adapter would be 1-1/4" then increase to 1.5". Are you pushing the hose all the back on the hose adapter?

I have a sandman NE 6150 and the 6 way valve lettering has faded and is so hard to read already. Can you post a picture that I can see so I can make a copy to paste on my pump?

I want to purchase this , my question is....the diameter of the hoses on my intex sand filter are much bigger almost 2 1/2 inch will this make a difference on flow to my 24foot by 52 inch pool
Reply
Hello Jeff, Yes this will effect your flow going from what you have which is a 2 1/2" down to a 1 1/2", but it is sized properly for the pool so it shouldn't effect anything else.

why would my pump once turned on shut itself off
Reply
There could be a few reasons the pump shuts off. It could be because the motor is overheating. It could be due to an electrical short. It could be due to a bad run capacitor. What ever the case is, it is likely you would need to replace the motor or capacitor.

i have a .5 hp with 24ft of hose 1.25in thick and it dose not suck up is the hose to long is it not a nuff power on the pumps in the pump is not sucking threw the vacuum can you give me some that mite make it work
Reply
Hi, Steve. We will need to know how far away the pump is from the pool and if you have an automatic and the model or manual vacuum in order to ensure the system we recommend provides adequate suction.

where can I buy just the valve label ? Its all faded can't read it .

Hi. The valve decal is not available as a separate part, you will have to replace the entire valve 6 Way Valve - NEP2133.

Water is leaking out of the backwash/waste line when the valve is in filter position. I have tried several times to switch positions to get it to stop.

This is usually a sign that the spider gasket inside of the multiport valve is going bad. We may carry that one for your valve but we would need to know the specific model of that valve in order to cross-reference that for you. You can call in with that info or if it is not legible then you can always email a few pictures of that valve to upload@inyopools.com so we can try and identify it for you.

after back washing our filter when we turn filter on it is throwing sand in the pool at first and then stops. never had this problem before? any advise?
Reply
Hi, Carol. If you're not rinsing out the filter after backwashing, sand will get back into the pool.

I just bought a new blue wave pool 18ft with a sandman 1hp motor. The backwah leaks sometimes so I backwash it then rinse it and then back to filter to stop it. but then it will leak again. It is brand new tho just hooked up week ago. Any info would be greatly used

Why is water coming out of the electric motor and it's kicking out? Could this mean that there is a seal that needs replaced?

Will this pump be a good choice for a 22 x 52 round pool
Reply
Rachel, yes, the Sandman 18" Sand Filter System With 1 Hp Pump - NE6150 would be an adequate system for your 22x52 round pool.
Reply
We just purchased a Blue Wave 24’x54” round pool with the Sandman NE6150. We want to add a saltwater system. What do you have that you would recommend? Thanks.
Reply
Being that your pool is approximately 15k gallons, I would consider something like the model SAS-ABG-TL or the model PL7770.
