Water that has passed down through the bed enters through the slots in the laterals and leaves through the manifold, and the slots are what hold the sand back. When a lateral cracks or a slot opens up, sand goes straight through and comes out at the returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the assembly sits under the sand bed, the media has to be removed to reach it.
