Hi all,
Just registered here, as i have some questions. First of all, bought my new house with a pool 6 months ago - so im new as a pool-owner.
Specs on my pool:
Oval shape, 8*4 meters
34.000 liters
Outdoor
My sandfilter is a Sevilla 600
I dont know when the sand was replaced last, as i only have had the house for 6 months
First 1)
I get some sand in my pool and im not sure why. I have cleaned it properly and the filter has been running. I have vacumed the bottom with a robot-vacuum cleaner so in the evening the water is all crystal clear, and the pool totally clean. In the morning (my pump runs from 22:00-06:00 every day) there is sand in the pool. So - i can only assume it comes from the sand-filter. I have done a thorough backwash (5min) and afterwards a 20 sec Rinse - but still - sand i the pool every morning after the pump has run. I have read elsewhere, it could be the "lateral"-tubes in the filter that needs changing.
Questions:
1) Is there anything else i could try ?
2) Is a 20 sec rinse after backwash enough ?
3) Could it be the sand that needs changeing ?
4) If it is the "lateral" tubes - does it pay-off to get them fixed, or should i get a new filter all together ?
Thx for your time
