When your filter pressure rises 8–10 PSI above normal or your water stays cloudy despite treatment, it’s time to clean your sand filter. Routine backwashing can help, but deeper cleaning may be needed to remove oils and debris that clog the sand bed. Check out our blog to learn how to clean your pool filter properly.
Pool filter sand typically needs to be changed every 3–5 years. The process involves safely removing old sand, inspecting the filter laterals, and refilling with the correct type and amount of new filter sand. Follow our step-by-step guide to changing sand in a pool filter.
The right pool filter depends on your pool size, usage, maintenance preferences, and budget. Sand filters are low-maintenance and cost-effective, while cartridge and DE filters offer finer filtration. Compare sand, cartridge, and DE filters in our buying guide.

Sand Pool Filters: How to Change the Sand
Sand filters for pools are known for typically requiring much less maintenance than other types of pool filtration systems, but they do require some care to stay running at their optimum level. Part of sand filter maintenance involves changing the sand in the filter. Depending on how much your pool is used and what type of filter system you have, the sand will typically need to be replaced about every 5-7 years in order to keep everything running efficiently.
Over time, as the sand in your filter is run through the system, the granules become smoother and the sand filtration process becomes much less efficient. When your sand filter stops working as well, that means it’s pumping harder and harder and overworking to do what should be a simple job. Keeping up with changing the sand on a schedule will help keep everything running smoothly and help to keep your filter running for as long as possible.
