You might have too much sand in the filter. I use a diatomaceous earth. When I used too much there was leakage back through the strainer.
also I found my pipe cracked inside my filter bowl and sand was seeping into the pool, removed all sand and did some home pluming replacement.
very simple job to do...

What is a normal operating pressure for a jacuzzi sand filter for an above ground pool?"
Probably not going to be adequate.

It should be on "FILTER"
If you are getting sand coming into the pool and have a sand filter you may have to replace worn laterals in the sand filter.
YES it should be no problem
Never put sand on the bottom of a pool....if you are curious, do a little web search for Sharon Stone and her experience in wanting sand in her pool to feel like the sands of a place she visited....needless to say, the pool's filter immediately stopped working, all water had to be removed, new pool filter installed, and water refilled.
