Hello. Last season when cleaning my sand filter I notice that the sand level was low, below half, so added 100 lbs of new sand to bring it closer to 3/4 full.
Since then I’ve noticed sand in the pool each time I backwash and rinse. Which I don’t have to do very often as I have a robot vacuum to clean the pool of most debris and the filter is never used to vacuum.
I was worried that maybe I had a crack in the standpipe so this season I removed all of the sand from the filter and inspected the standpipe for cracks. It looked very good with no issues.
Yesterday I backwashed for the first time this season and now have sand in the pool again. Perhaps a cup or two of sand
Does anyone knows why I might be getting sand in the pool after backwash?
Do I have too much sand in the filter?
Is there any other reasons for sand in the pool that isn’t a cracked standpipe?
Appreciate anyone’s experience with this, thanks.
