Remove all old sand and rinse the tank interior thoroughly with a hose to wash away residual debris. 2. Remove Old Lateral Assembly Carefully lift the old pipe and lateral assembly straight up and out of the filter tank. 3. Install New Lateral Assembly Insert the new lateral assembly into the tank, ensuring the center pipe is centered. 4. Add Water & Sand (Critical Step) Fill the tank approximately half full with water to cushion the laterals. Important: Tape the top opening of the center pipe to prevent sand from entering and clogging the laterals. Slowly pour new filter sand into the tank around the pipe. Once filled, remove the tape.
