What happens when you put brown sand in a pool filter instead of white silica sand?
It could damage the internal PVC of the filter and cause sand to get in your pool.
And where can you perchese the sand from?
You can get swimming pool filter sand or a number of other filter media that can be used instead of sand from most pool shops. You can also get sand from under above ground pools from a builders supply or nursery.
Do you need anything under the pool liner?
Sand is normally put under the pool liner to create a smoother surface.
What causes sand to be pumped into a pool?
I'm assuming you are using a sand filter. First, is the pump and filter hooked up corretly? Pumping the water through the filter the wrong way will blow sand into your pool. Is the control valve in the correct position? If it's in between positions it might let some sand into the pool. Is the control valve cracked or broken? Self explanitory.
Should put sand under a swimming pool?
YES
When setting up a new above ground pool will adding a gorilla bottom and also the plastic coving instead of regular sand coving help the pool last longer?
Its not a good idea to put a plastic liner under the pool. It retains moisture and rots the walls and the rail the wall is in. Your pool will not last. If you follow manufactures instructions, sand under pool and a good drainage system around the pool will make the pool last 25 years or more. Whenever water sits against the pool walls its going to eventually rot the wall and can seep under pool causing the sand to shift and then the liner will go bad.Its all sales hype about the coving and gorilla stuff...its not needed.
What goes under a above ground pool?
Washed float sand.
I accidentally vacuumed dirt in my pool using backwash mode instead of waste mode. How do I get the dirt out from under the sand?
There wont be any dirt under the sand. When you vacuum your pool you should do it on filter mode Otherwise you will lose a lot of water for nothing, this would be especially wasteful in the case of a salt water pool. Ofter having vacuumed the pool on filter mode and if the pressure gets too high backwash. after backwash rinse for a minute, then return to filter.
For 3 inch deep sand under a pool How many yards would that be?
That'll depend on the size of the pool.
Changed the sand and now water is not going threw the sand going directly back to pool?
The sand filter head is not assembled correctly. There is a basket-looking piece that seems to belong to the tank, but it really should be attached to the multi-vavle head. Instead of being forced through the sand, the water is hitting the top of the sand pile and returning to the pool from there, instead of that return pipe that comes up from the bottom of the sand pile.
Can sand be used to level pool?
It already is used as pool sand!
Sol and Sand splash as affected by gravel mulch?
Gravel mulch costs way down on soil and sand splash. It is a way to stop and prevent erosion of all kinds of different soils.
