Removing sand from pool (from filter)

[etroisi]

For the regular house vacuum, I meant vacuums that could pick up dust or water. (but it wont do anything, more sand can come in if something is broken)

The only thing I find strange is that I always have the same amount of sand in the pool. If I have something broken, more sand should come in my pool.

I have an issue with sand blowing in my pool from the yard- every 2-3 days, always about same amount depending on winds...
are you sure it is from filter?
adding a little DE to filter may help catch some additional fine sand; it helps mine! (2-3 days instead of every day!)
