∙ 16y agoIf you don't have your owners manual go to the manufacturers web site to see if they have instructions. Failing that go to a "real" pool store (not just one of those places that discount chemicals) and ask them to try to find out.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the make and model of the filter. Each has different requirements, sometimes the label on the filter will tell you, the owners manual usually also have the info. You can alternatively consult you local pool shop to get the information as well.

∙ 14y agoThe instructions for the amount of sand to use with your filter should have come with your filter. If you threw those instructions away and removed the sand from your filter to replace it, there may or actually should be a mark on the inside of your filter to indicate the level for the top of the sand. It will be fairly near the top. You should only need to remove the top two inches or 5 centimeters of sand about once a year, and then replace it. Otherwise you should backwash your filter. That means, you use the outlet as the inlet and wash the stuff in the filter out the drain or into the yard until it runs clear.

Can you use Aqua Perl in your sand filter instead of sand?
You should not use Aqua Perl (Which is a Expanded Perlite Filter Media), or DE filter media in a sand filter. Here are a few reasons: 1. The Aqua Perl will come out every time you backwash your filter (it is much lighter and has a certain percentage of "floaters" (material that floats on top of water). 2. There are very small particles in both Aqua Perl and DE that may get into your swimming pool causing a "cloudy" effect. 3. Sand is much more permeable than Aqua Perl, and you will get a lower flow rate than with sand. The pressure will be higher as well. 4. A sand type filter is not designed for either Aqua Perl or DE. To use this type of filter media you need a DE type filter. Using a DE type filter will give much better results than with sand.

How do you separate sugar sand and iron filing?
Remove the iron filings with a magnet. That will leave the sugar and sand left. Then use a fine sieve to remove the sand. Or if those particles are too much the same size, then add water to the mixture and then use a filter. The sand will stay behind on the filter. You now have to remove the water. You can do that by letting it evaporate.
