Introduction
In this informative session, The Pool Guy, Al, addresses a common concern raised by pool owners: Why is there sand coming out of my jets after the lateral assembly has been replaced?
Possible Causes of Sand in Pool Jets
- Residual Sand in the Pool Filter: Sometimes, sand from the filter media itself can be dislodged during maintenance or replacement of the laterals, leading to sand particles being pushed through the jets.
- Improper Installation of the Lateral Assembly: If the lateral assembly was not installed correctly or if the new parts are incompatible, it can create pathways for sand to escape into the pool circulation system.
- Broken or Damaged Laterals: Even new parts can sometimes be defective or damaged during installation, resulting in sand leakage.
- Contaminated Pool Water or Filter Media: If the pool water was contaminated with sand or the filter media was not properly cleaned before installation, residual debris could be causing the issue.
Steps to Resolve the Issue
- Inspect the Filter System: Check the filter media for any dislodged particles or damage. Replace or backwash the filter as needed.
- Verify Proper Installation: Ensure that the lateral assembly was installed correctly, and all connections are secure and compatible.
- Check for Damaged Components: Examine the new lateral parts for cracks or defects that might allow sand to escape.
- Clean the Pool and Filter System: Remove any residual debris and perform a thorough cleaning of the filter media.
- Consult a Professional: If the problem persists, seek assistance from a licensed pool technician to diagnose and fix the underlying issue.
Conclusion
Experiencing sand coming out of your pool jets after replacing the laterals can be concerning, but understanding the potential causes and following proper troubleshooting steps can resolve the problem effectively. Regular maintenance and proper installation are key to ensuring your pool operates smoothly and stays clean.
