Each time you backwash your pool an amount of sand is lost to ensure your filter is working as it should you should have a routine inspection on a yearly basis

We recommend changing the sand every five years. While we have seen filters go many years without changing the sand and still do the job, they are not as efficient as they should be. If the sand level is below the top connection pipe the level is too low and the sand requires replenishing. 

Filter sand has been ground to a size of .45 to .55 mm in diameter and is very rough when new. This roughness is what makes the sand efficient at filtering out the particles of dirt in your water. As this roughness is smoothed out - as stones in a stream wear smooth over time - your filter's efficiency goes down. This means that your system has to run more frequently to accomplish the same task.

A proper sand change involves removing all the old sand, disconecting the filter, removing and flushing out the system, checking the filter vains and re-assembling and adding fresh sand.
