Above Ground Pool Filter
If I replace the pipe that comes into the sand filter, it is a flexible pipe, with a rigid PVC pipe does the pipe still have to go down to the ground and then back up or can it be horizontal? My feeling is it must go to the ground or the water will just bypass the sand.
OK… I have replaced the pipe and have it horizontal. Now, when I back wash the filter I have no color in the water which leads me to believe the water is not being filtered thru the sand.

Yes just replace it, the filter does the job, the flex pipe is just long so you can put the filter anywhere. It to can be cut off to run straight. The only problem with rigid pipe is vibration.You may end up with leaks over time.because it has no "give" .
As long as the hose runs from the pump discharge to the filter inlet it doesn’t matter where else it runs. Can go all the way around the pool first or straight into the filter.
What a great resource!

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
amazing stuff thanx
That is result what you wanted to get. Sand cannot get through it.
I am not sure since I do not have any skill in pool. Have you try changing the filter and see it making any differences? Maybe just the filter you have is faulty.
