does it filter out sand

Yes. It took 3 of these used up to fill a 33,000 gallon pool with well water.

Well, I don't have sand in my well water, so I am not able to say if it would. Actually, I took it off of the hose after one day, because it seems too expensive for what I purchased for.

Yes, but not the pebbles below. You use less filterglass (by weight) than sand - as I recall 20% less.

It doesn't have a filter such as a water filtration pitcher would, it is only sufficient to filter out possible grit or vegetative matter. The filter looks like a small round large pore sponge.

I can not tell you 100% but I have a Hayward sand filter and it has been great I ended up using two bags of glass media as i usually use sand.The only thing I have seen a couple times about using the glass is some filter intakes at bottom of sand maybe larger than others one person said they put in small amt gravel over intakes to keep glass away.They added couple inches gravel then glass.Try it I have never had such an easy time to keep pool clean.Good Luck

There is no filter per se. there are disks which rotate in the water and collect dirt. There isnt a mesh or anything of that sort.

Yes, it cleans in a random motion, no pattern, not the stairs, well worth the money, it filters the water better than our sand filter. Easy to clean the filters but I recommend using a air compressor with a air lance to blow out the filters

No. It does not come with filter. I clean mine out, let them thoroughly dry and reuse them. No problems.

No, it would not catch sand (at least not fine beach sand) or coffee grounds. The mesh is too large for that. It's a pretty standard mesh size, if you find similar types of strainers in your local stores, they all seem to have the same size mesh.

sand filter pump is not necessary, I used the pump that came with the pool and bought the salt water system separately.

From my experience it has both the particulate filter that will take care of the sanding dust and the organic type filter worked well for me while I was painting snowmobile hoods. Friend of mine runs an automotive restoration business and said this is the exact same model they use in his business.

Yes, you need a filter system (either sand or the paper cartridge type)...the pump pushes the water through the filter. I have the saltwater with the sand pump...I LOVE IT...

It comes with a sponge type filter... Not the best. You may want to purchase am extra for a few bucks.

It has a built in filter which will stop normal sediment but some small particles could seep through.

No ..it filters it..I suppose you could connect a hose to the discharge pipe and put it thru a hose in the sun..then run it back to your pool..

When we first installed our pump, we thought that the sand was shooting out too, but it was only the sediment. (Make sure you rinse the sand before you put it in the filter.) Follow the instructions and make sure the filter is in the correct position. You need to "backwash" the filter to rinse it out, which cleans the sand for better operation.

Sorry, it only takes out particles. If they are iron they will be held in filter, but the water will still flow over them.
