Sand out of filter

[tpirovol]

Hi Everyone,

Did my first filter cleaning today. During the backwash I noticed some sand coming out. I also ran the rinse for about 1min and it was clean with 5sec but the sand didn’t come out of the glass meter.

thoughts?
Thanks

I think you are fine. Check it again the next time you backwash.......I bet it will be less. (but you'll ALWAYS have just a little)

Ok cool. I will keep an eye on it the next time I do a backwash.

Thanks, also through the viewing port the sand that is in their I am assuming that is normal?

Pretty much normal. There is a lot of turbulence in there and a little sand gets out after almost every cycle. I think you're just fine.
