Possibly because you have not backwashed the filter recently or enough. Cloudy water also may indicate Algae growth or pH balance off. Test your chlorine and pH levels and adjust them accordingly, shock the water if necessary and add algaecide.

How do you separate sand from water?

You just need to use filter paper. use the filter paper than just pour the water and sand on the filter paper. the sand will go to the filter paper while the water will go straight to the beaker or anything below it. That is how you separate it. To separate sand and water you could pour the mixture through a filter. The water would pass through the filter but the sand would remain on top of the filter. If you didn't need to save the water you could evaporate the water and leave the dry sand behind. Or allow the sand to settle and carefully pour off the water first. Then allow the remaining water to evaporate.

How can you separate a mixture of sand from water?

If you needed to extract the remainder of the water, put the wet sand into a centrifuge and spin it until the water is out and collected from the centrifuge.If you want to separate sand from water take a beaker a pebble and a filter paper then fix the filter paper in the pebble and put it on the beaker and add the mixture of water and sand then the water will be in the beaker and the sand will be on filter paper. Remember use Steve for thick things such as tiny stones etc and apply the same method.

Can you separate gravel and sand with a coffee filter?

As salt is soluble in water, mixing salt and sand in water would result in solid sand, and salt water. When poured through a coffee filter, the sand would remain in the filter, while the salt water would flow through. After letting the water evaporate, salt would remain. You will be left with the two separated solids.
