Product details

The Pentair 155051 sand guide is a genuine Pentair part cataloged with the Sand Dollar top mount sand filter family. It is the piece used when media is being loaded into the tank.

What it does

A top mount sand filter has an open standpipe running up the middle of the tank to the valve. When you pour a bag of sand in, anything that finds its way down that pipe bypasses the filter bed entirely and gets pushed straight out of the returns into the pool, and through the pump on the way. The sand guide covers the pipe while the tank is filled so the media stacks up around it instead.

Before you order

Our facts for this part list the Sand Dollar top mount filter family and the Pentair part number, and nothing further. If your filter is a different Pentair model, confirm the number against your own parts list first.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What is a sand guide for?
It shields the center standpipe while media is being loaded, so sand goes into the tank around the pipe instead of down inside it.
Which filters is it listed for?
It is cataloged as a Pentair Sand Dollar top mount sand filter part. Check it against your own filter model before ordering.
Is it a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is the Pentair part, number 155051.
Do I need one to change my sand?
It is not strictly required, but taping or plugging the standpipe by hand is easy to get wrong, and sand that reaches the standpipe will be blown back into the pool.
