Hello. We have an Intex Ultra Frame 18' x 52" pool that we got last year. This year we bought the Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter that does 3,000 gph. It is a 16in tank. It says on the label that it takes #20 Silica sand and the capacity is 120lbs. So, does it take the full 120lbs? Also, is there anything I need to know about this sand? And if anyone knows, do we need the hose adapters that convert 1.25" to 1.5"? The right side hoses are two smaller hoses that go into a valve plunger and then into the bigger white hose. The left side is just a bigger white hose going from the current filter to the left plunger. Thank you!

I saw where a review for some #20 silica sand said it passes right through the Intex filter so the person bought HTH brand or something like that and said it does better. Can anyone shed some light on that please? Thanks.
