The Game Sand Pro 50 Filter multiport valve has 7 settings: 1-Filtration, 2-Rinse, 3-Circulation, 4-Backwash, 5-Closed, 6-Purge/Drain, and 7-Winterize. This guide explains the function of these settings and then describes the sequence of settings to perform filter functions like cleaning your filter's sand and cleaning debris out of your pool.

I can't get the strainer basket out of the hai and lint strainer. Thought it was permanent?Reply

In the parts diagram, you can see that the basket can be removed and replaced: Game Sandpro Filter SystemsReply

Hello JB - a diagram and instructions on how to install the SandPro's hoses can be found on page9, of the owner's manual.Reply

Hello Toril3268 - There is a backwash fitting that comes with the Game Sand Pro 50. That fitting will thread into the waste port. There may be a plug in the waste port that needs to be removed first. Once the fitting is threaded into the waste port, you can clamp a backwash hose onto the fitting. The filter can be backwashed once the hose is in place.Reply

Hoe do I hookup the vacuum hose,Reply

KAM - I am not familiar with the Sandpro 50SD with only four settings, but if the manual says "Winterize" will bypass the filter, I would use that setting. The other three settings go through the filter. I also do not know what the orange water is that is ejected into your pool when you go from "Winterize" to "Filtration". Try going from "Winterize" to "Rinse" before going to "Filtration" to clean the orange water out before first.Reply

My Sandpro 50SD does not look like this one. I only have 4 settings. Filtration, Rinse, Backwash and Winterize. I'm trying to figure out out of those which one I use to bypass filter and recirculate. Ive been using winterize as its the only one in the manual that says it bypasses the filter. Also when I switch it back to filtration it shot some orange water back into my pool. How do I avoid that when switching back to filtration?Reply

Anonymous (Sand Pro) - Check that all the O-rings and gaskets are in place around and in the strainer cover. See Steps 13 -17 and 33 - 34 in our guide on "How To Upgrade an Intex Pool Pump and Filter System". Also, pull the motor from the pump housing and check that the pump's impeller is not clogged.Reply

My sandpro 75D will not build pressure.Reply

MRB - Try replacing your filter's sand, and check the connections between the pool and the pump to make sure you aren't sucking in air. Try sealing the connections with silicon glue.Reply

I have to backwash my sandpro50 pump a lot because it looses pressure.Reply

Roni B - It varies with your setup but numbers between 5-20 psi are typical.Reply
Roni B. Posted: 6/27/2016
What is the range for a normal psi?Reply

Deb - You may have a bad spider gasket under your valve cover that is leaking water into the waste port. Here is a link to the Game Valve Gasket Kit that contains that gasketReply

my pool pump has water coming out of backwash port and I can't get it to stopReply

Advice – I don’t think this pump is strong enough to handle an automatic cleaner. I would suggest getting a manual one that would extend off your pool cleaning handle. You will also need the hose to connect the cleaning head to the pool input port. See “vacuum heads”.Reply
Advice Posted: 5/26/2016
Looking for a vacuum that would be compatible with this pump. Would prefer an automatic one, but I can't seem to find one. Do you know of any? If not, do you know of a good one that's not automatic that would be the best fit for this pump?Reply

Valve leaks - Sounds like you may have a damaged spider gasket. See #8 on this Game Sandpro Filter Systems parts diagram. You would need to purchase this "repair kit" to replace the gasket.Reply

Valve port leaks water from the purge valve on filter setting. Seems to filter on 2 rinse setting. This is my second unit, not sure why. I ran it all night on what looked to be filtering and now have sand in the pool. Help?Reply

relerford - BACKWASH for about 2-5 minutes or until the waste water is clear. RINSE for about 1 minute. See for guide on "How To Backwash a Pool Sand Filter" for more information.Reply
relerford Posted: 6/10/2014
How long do you run system in BACKWASH? Then afterwards, how long do you run the system in RINSE?Reply

Jonah - The Game Sand Pro 50 Filter System flow rate is approximately 32 Gallons per Minute.Reply
Jonah Posted: 5/19/2014
This was a helpful article - thanks! I'm just wondering if you know how many gallons or liters of water would be pumped out during the purge/drain setting? I have the Sand Pro 4510. I need to remove algae & debris after the shock treatment. I'd really appreciate the info. ThanksReply
