How did you get sand in the bottom of your pool?
If you do not see your water level going down on above ground pools they use sand for the bottom. My first guess would be that if you have a sand filter that the sand is coming from the filter just a bad or faulty gasket I do not know if you change the sand in your filter or you have someone do it, just have the person vacuum the sand up with the pool vacuum. have someone open the filter up and look at the gasket. A thin coat of sand? Well if is all over the bottom of the pool it is either a fine sediment that the filter cannot pick up or DE. If you have a DE filter and it is DE on the bottom of the pool you either have a problem with the internal components or, if you have a multiport valve, you may have a problem with that. What ever you have the best way to get rid of it is to vacuum it to waste. If you have a multiport valve you should have a setting marked waste and you would vacuum the pool while the valve was in this position. This bypasses the filer and run the water out the backwash line. Any other filter configuration I would have to know what type of configuration you have to advise you on how best to deal with this issue. If this "sand" is all in one spot by the return jet then you probably have a broke lateral at the bottom of the filer. You will need to replace the lateral and if the laterals are over 6 years old replace all of them.

How do you change sand in hayward S244T filter?
Take the mutiport controls of the top of the unit. This will allow you to see inside where the sand is. The easiest way to remove the sand is to get a venturi pump these go on the end of the garden hose and use the taps water to suck the sand out of the filer housing. (ask your pool shop about this device) Once the filter is empty replace the sand with whatever you want to throw in there. Screw the multiport back on and you are done
