Pool Filter Sand Removal
A pool that uses a sand filter tank does so because it’s an excellent way to trap contaminants. The sand particles are hard and jagged, which makes them best equipped to trap other dirt or contaminants as the filter cycles through.
Inside the large round or cylindrical tank, there is often some kind of fan propelling the sand to keep it from being still. Because of this movement, the filter is able to work through and the sand can trap the contaminants. While the sand is moved somewhat slowly, it works fast enough for the water to siphon through. Finally, the water filters back out with the contaminants extracted.
Now, due to the trapping of contaminants by the sand, it creates build-up. The frequency of removal will depend upon a lot of factors, but mostly the size of your pool relative to your filter. However, it is always smart to have your filter checked to make sure it is operating efficiently. Especially when you consider that the sharp jagged sand can be prone to smoothing out the filter edges. If this happens then it can reduce the effectiveness of the filter.
In this instance, you will likely have to get a replacement. But, you can avoid a costly replacement sooner by making sure you are keeping up with your tank, and replacing sand as recommended.
Making It Easy

Sand removal is a tricky task, especially depending on the size of your tank. Also, you have to take into consideration the amount of material that has built up in your tank. We recommend contacting our professionals for a consultation.
