Great instructions and good safety procedures. Very appreciated. Everything went as planned. Only thing I would add is use long-sleeve shirt. Fiberglass tank is itching my arms. Other than that, well done.
You made it look to easy- everything seemed good except your shortcut on the drain valve. The drain valve on bottom has 2" x 3" rounded nut with a 5/8 nut in middle.Which one do you actually turn, and is it counter clockwise? Both are more than hand tight, so I am not sure. My guess is the bigger one, but I'll need a strap wrench.
Hi Mark, The drain valve has standard threading and will loosen when turned counter-clockwise. You may need to use a set of channel lock plyers to loosen the drain plug. We recommend cleaning the O-ring on the drain plug to ensure there is no debris on the mating surface of the bottom of the filter or the threads the drain plug threads into. You may also want to apply a small amount of a water-based lubricant on the drain plug and hand tighten it.

Last time when I attempted to clean the filters, the cartridges came out with the bottom manifold. After I washed the cartridges, I wasn't able to push back the bottom manifold where it was. The O ring prevented that. I tried to push harder, still no chance. What shod I do?
Hello, For this issue you will need to contact your pool professional to ensure the bottom manifold gets seated properly and to check for any possible broken parts.

The new one-piece trunnion on the clamp (the part the bolt goes through) is superior to the old design. THANK YOU for addressing this issue.

What issues can not having the air bleed screen create?
