Just bought a house and it has an above ground pool in the back yard. Cool.

I've never owned a pool or taken care of one, so this is all new to me.

The bottom of the pool has some sand on it - the previous owners left a note for me and said the sand showed up when they had a new liner put in the spring, and no matter how much vacuuming they do it's still there.

My girlfreind started to vacuum it up and I noticed everything she was taking up was just being spit back into the pool in a cloud of sand through the return nozzle.

I have a Diatomaceous Earth filter, but it's obviously not doing its job. I'm trying to read all I can online, but none of the "How To" pages have any pictures what-so-ever, so I don't even understand how this filter is really supposed to work.

Any ideas?
