Keep or Dump Sand every year?

I agree with Carl. I am on my 5th season with my pool and I have never changes the sand.

I'm starting my 9th season with the same sand. Think maybe I should add a little because of the little that is lost when backwashing...but...maybe next year.

Same here, on my 5th swimming season with the same sand in my Hayward filter. They work better the dirtier they get.
