How often should I replace the sand in my Swimming Pool Tiles ?

The sand in a swimming pool refers to the sand used in the pool's sand filter, not the tiles. Sand filters play a crucial role in maintaining water clarity and cleanliness by trapping dirt and debris as pool water cycles through. Here’s some guidance on when and why you should replace the sand in your pool's sand filter:

How Often to Replace Sand in a Pool Filter

Generally, it’s recommended to replace the sand in a pool filter every 3 to 5 years. However, the frequency can depend on a few factors:

• High-traffic pools, such as commercial or public pools, may require sand replacement more often than residential pools.
• Poor water quality or issues with algae might indicate that the sand has lost its effectiveness sooner.
• If you notice reduced water flow, cloudy water, or if the filter doesn’t seem to be cleaning as effectively as before, it may be time to change the sand.
