There is no filter at the bottom of a pool. Perhaps you are looking at the hydrostatic valve which is there in case your pool is emptied and Will make sure that the pool wont float in ground water.

How often should I clean my pool?
The cleaning schedules varies from filter to filter, but a general guideline on any swimming pool filter is to take a reading when the filter is clean, then clean the pool filter when the pressure rises about 10 psi.
If your in-ground pool has a leak somewhere and muddy ground water has come in and the leak is fixed do you need to shock it to get it to clear up again while the filter is running?
If you use a test kit and your chlorine level is high I would say no, let the filter run and while the filter is running vacuum the bottom of the pool to remove some of the mud off the bottom of the pool floor and check the filter for high pressue, so the filter can do its job and get the pool clean. You want to keep your chlorine level above normal during the cleaning level so when the pool is clean your are ready to use it, also I do not know how brown or muddy the water is.
What could be the cause for your pool whips to stop moving after two hours of filtration when the pressure reads normal on the sand filter?
Clean and empty in ground pool filter, clean and empty filter near pool pump. Be sure all whips are clear of dibris. also do a flush of the system. If this does not help, you will need to have a C02 charge done between the pool line and the pool pump. OR you may need to have your impeller replaced in the pool motor.

Do you backwash your pool before you put chemicals in?
No you only backwash your pool when your filter pressure on your filter is high 30psi and above on most pools. If you backwash your pool be sure to add two scoops of de to your skimmer. If the presure is still high the u need to clean the filter
If you flooded a vacaville pool filled with mud and you can't see the bottom is there any way to clean it without draining the pool or running it through the filter?
There are ways to clean without draining or running through your filter but they would include the use of a separate filter which would be as much hassle.I would recommend draining the pool and lightly acid washing to properly get out all the mud and bacteria it may have left behind.
How frequently should the sand be changed on the filter system?
If you are backwashing more than you care to,or your filter pressue is high, or you put your hand against the outlet where the clean water is returning back to the pool and your hand does not get pushed away any of these reasons would be a reason to change the sand, depending on the size of the filter some filters need to be changed once a season every other season or not for years, bottom line you should only be backwashing after vacumning the pool. if your water in your pool is clean or clear I would say the sand is ok.
