There are no delicate fabric grids or elements to tear or tear down.

In cold-weather climates, the tank must be completely drained of water via the lower drain fitting, and the plumbing lines must be blown out prior to sub-zero winter temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e*   **Media Sizing Compliance:** Operating this unit with incorrect sand grades, coarse beach sand, or non-pooling aggregate will ruin the internal underdrain slots, blow media back into your return lines, and void all warranty coverages. Use exclusively standard #20 Silica Sand or certified glass alternatives.\u003cbr\u003e*   **Professional Trade Recommendation:** Damage resulting from improper mechanical anchoring, over-pressurization past factory specifications, or incorrect pipe gluing will void the warranty. Professional installation by a licensed pool technician is highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt; 📞 **Hydraulic Sizing \u0026amp; System Integration Support:**\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt; Matching a 25-inch sand filter requires ensuring your pump’s horsepower and flow output do not exceed the 75 GPM maximum limit, as over-pressurization can drive sand into your pool or strain the multi-port valve seals.\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt; Please contact our technical support squad directly to evaluate real-time regional warehouse availability, check freight delivery routes, or confirm the proper plumbing adaptors for your equipment pad layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59744610484305,"sku":null,"price":649.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/1186\/2865\/files\/Hayward_Sandmaster_Filter_apo1-mn.jpg?v=1783255429","url":"https:\/\/shop.poolbees.com\/products\/hayward-25-inch-sand-filter","provider":"PoolBees Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
