Dealing with Sand in the Pool

If you've noticed sand in your pool and you don't live on the beach, there could be a problem. It's probably coming from the filter (this is especially likely if the sand is under the inlets).

This problem can be caused by an over-sized swimming pool pump or from a cracked lateral in the filter. The problem could also be simpler too; it maybe simply be a case of too much sand in the filter. In this situation, you would be safest calling in an expert to take a look and give a diagnosis.
