Pentair Sand Vac

The Pentair 542090 Sand Vac is a tool for removing sand from a pool sand filter. Changing filter media or replacing a cracked lateral means emptying the tank first, and that is slow, wet work with a cup. The Sand Vac is built for that job.

When you need it

Filter sand wears smooth and channels over time and eventually has to be replaced. Laterals at the bottom of the tank can crack and let sand into the pool, and reaching them means clearing every bit of sand above. Either job goes faster with a tool made to pull sand out.
