There is sand on the bottom of the pool
The sand you are using may be too small, passing through the filter system, then again in the pool. Remove the sand and replace it with the right quality of sand - # 20 Silica or 45-55mm pool sand.
The pump may be too large for the filter. During backwashing the pressure can cause the sand to rise high enough to overflow into the standpipe, allowing sand to get back in the pool. Consult the manual for the 'right amount of sand for the filter.
It could be a loose lateral located at the bottom of the filter. Secure loose side shoots to replace in case of breakage.
