Back beginning of May we changed out the Silica Sand in the Filter Drum to our Above Ground a Pool.. The Pool Store advised refilling the drum with only 3 bags of S/S as to fill to the 4 bag capacity would be to much, leading to a wasteful mess..The the Messy part is where were at..After going through the ritual of vacuuming and I've cleaned out the filter basket attached to the end of the pump..Power back on and in Filter mode, it appears a considerable amount of Silica Sand has found it's way through the Return back into the Pool as it settles on the bottom directly below..Am I missing something , doing things somehow in the wrong order ?? There's nothing fancy about the filter process through the Drum as the Directional Dial on top sits on a tube that goes straight to the bottom hooked onto a donut style ring...Any Ideas or Suggestions , Appreciated...Cheers. Thanks
