Hi Jen.
Put a knee high stocking over one of the returns (you can keep it in place with a rubber-band, if you have return inlets/ eyeballs) Then check it the next day. Then describe to us what was collected in the stocking.

Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
Re: Sand in pool?
OK, thanks. I'll find some knee highs tomorrow.

Re: Sand in pool?
I too have had deposits in the bottom of my pool, almost like dust, not dirt (it's real fine and vacuums up somewhat easy but sometimes takes a little scrubbing with the pool vac). Just this weekend I put a white knee high on my one return and found small spruce pine needles in it this morning (we have a spruce tree near the pool that the wind will blow this trash into it). Having the knee sock there seems to have lessened the amount of 'dirt' I am getting into the pool. I too replaced my sand this year but did it like the instructions said, filled the filter with water first (about half way) and then put in about 170 pounds of sand.
