It's time consuming and messy but... each fixture water line needs to be drained individually. Basically, 1.) Open outside taps and run water for 2-3 minutes each (individually). Then run water with all outside taps open. The high flow rate should carry a lot of the sand out. 2.) Shut off the main water supply to the house and disconnect the hose to a fixture at the wall to get maximum flow. Use a section of garden hose to direct water into a large container. Turn main supply back on and let it run for a minute or two. That's a lot of water, so it may require several cycles to keep the container from overflowing. 3.) Repeat for each line at each fixture. 4.) Attach garden hose to hot water heater and flush that too. 5.) Clean toilet valve (inside tank) by removing the top and running water while holding a glass over the infeed. 6.) Install a filter in the main supply line to keep any additional sand out of the system. You may have to disassemble valves in the sinks if flow is not normal. And don't forget to flush the washing machine line using the garden hose method.
