.....twice. Not kidding.

The first time I was told to replace the laterals which I did and filled back with sand (being careful not to break my new laterals) and fired it up. Great....wait a day or so and I see more sand! Ut oh. Open filter and.....no sand! Turns out it wasn't the laterals but the "hub" and it isn't made anymore.

Wow.....pressure is on now to open by the June 16th!

Anyway...I replace the filter with a DE so it is up and running, but here is the problem. How do I get all that sand out? Vacuuming to the DE filter means it has to be cleaned every 15 minutes or so. Will take days in my estimation. Not ideal.

So....anyone have any suggestions on how to get the sand out in a somewhat easier manner?

Thanks in advance.
