skirt Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 What's the advantage/disadvantage for a side valve sand filter. I know the top valves are more popular and less expensive. Just thought I would ask about the difference. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParagonPool&Supply Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 the advantage to a top mount is that you don't have to worry about bulkheads leaking as you would with a sidemount..fixing them is a pain in the ass... disadvantages would be that some top mount multiports are a little harder to service if they have a leaky spider gasket...and if you have to replace the whole multiportmake sure you have unionized your pipes near the filter because you'll have to unscrew them from the multiport...
