Gee, I have a pool and never heard of that. Although, someone handles it for me. So I had to look it up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uuQ77vAV_U Interesting, but it does say additional skimming and filtration are necessary. Sounds complicated but mine isn't really dirty like that example either--just cloudy. Not excessively cloudy, but not clear either. Not enough to look good. Funny thing is, when I look down into the bowl, instead of a side view, it does look clear. Thanks. I'll check into that too. |

One wedding blog, discussed this, and a person mentioned a sand they had that is epoxy coated that doesn't cloud up. I plan to check it out but don't know what it looks like. |

You need to backwash the sand. To do this, put the sand in a tall container, filling it only 1/3 full. You need to introduce the washing water below the sand. You could use a tube or hose connected to the faucet and poke the other end below the sand as deep as you can get it. Turn on the water at a fast enough rate to make the sand boil, but not so fast that the sand goes over the edge of the vessel. Allow the wash water to overflow the vessel. The fines will be washed from the sand leaving clean sand behind.

I'm a little leery of any sand getting into my sink but I could use the side without the disposal. Would the water from an outside hose be okay? |
