How much sand is required for this filter?

This particular filter has a requirement of 200 pounds of sand. We offer an alternative to sand called Zeobest, it offers cleaning capability 10 times that of sand. An added plus to Zeobest is that you only use half the amount needed with sand. >Zeobest Sand Alternative

Hello we have a great "how to guide" on how to operate sand filter. You would switch your multiport valve to backwash to drain to desired level and switch back to filter after you are done. Please make sure in between switching back and forth from backwash to filter you turn off pump so you can turn valve better.

Hello Paula, please check your model of your filter, there is only tubing replacements for certain types. There is a Sta-Rite Crystal-Flo II Top Mount Sand Filter System Parts, but it doesn't come in 24" only 22" so please double check all parts/models. If you would like to see if Sta-rite 800-831-7133 and check if they have direct replacement or a part number to better assist you.
