The best sand filter I have seen up to now is one that I scored along with a new magnapool chlorination system last year. I have never seen the water kept as clean as it is now. The trick is not so much in the filter as in the filter media. Instead of sand this unit has a material called diamond cleenhttp://www.poolrite.com.au/new-products.htm

How do you find out what size sand filter you have?
Usually the top of the sand filter is above the water level of the pool, so all you have to do is unscrew the top and look in. However if the filter is below the pools water level you will have to cut of the water coming from and to the pool before you do. who added the sand? If you did - did you follow the manufacturer's instructions as to how much and what type of sand to use? Instructions tell you - - SPECIFICALLY - - how many pounds of # 20 silica sand to use.
