Typically, a home owner should have the sand removed and replaced in a sand filter every five to seven years. Sometimes it may be wise to replace the internal plumbing of the filter (the laterals) while the sand is out as that is the only time the laterals can be replaced, though this is not necessary with every sand change. You may also need to have the diverter valve (the valve on top or on the side of the sand filter) looked at closely as well as the O-rings and gaskets as this may be all that is required for this issue. If the diverter valve or gaskets are bad than water is not being filtered at 100%.
