How much sand goes in the filter

by Brian87gt » Sun 10 Jun, 2007 18:37

First post

I opened my filter today and noticed the sand is about 3/4 from the top of the tank. Is that enough? Or should the sand come to the very top? Thanks

Last post

You filters capacity is measured in pounds of sand. There is always headspace....sand never goes to the top.

filter losing pressure

First post

My DE filter will not run for more than 5 minutes without losing all pressure. Obviously it will not filter like this. There must be a leak somewhere...

If you are handy, take the filter apart and give it a good cleaning, and inspect the gasket. It may be damaged or deformed and need replacement....
