Do you open the filter and inspect the sand once in a while?
Sand in backwash
I recently drained about 10 inches of water from my pool, mostly by setting the valve on Backwash. After the water dried from my sidewalk I'm seeing a little mound of sand. Is this normal for a sand filter?

Re: Sand in backwash
Thanks. A few tablespoons is about what I see. I changed the sand last year.
