  If you notice sand flowing into your pool from the MARIMEX Swimming Pool Filter, several factors could be at play. Firstly, the sand might be too fine; it's recommended to use #20 silica sand with a size of 0.45 mm to 0.85 mm. Secondly, ensure you stop the sand filter each time you adjust the control valve. Also, verify that the sand level is within the “MAX” and “MIN” markings on the collector hub. Lastly, a broken skimmer can cause this issue, so consider replacing it.
