The 26651EG SX3000 Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools does require periodic changing of the sand filter media to maintain optimal performance.

The sand filter media traps and removes debris, dirt, and other contaminants from the pool water, and over time, it can become saturated and clogged. This can reduce the filter's efficiency and cause it to operate less effectively.

The frequency at which the sand filter media should be changed depends on the size of the pool, the frequency of use, and the level of debris and contaminants in the pool water. As a general rule, it's recommended to change the sand filter media every 3-5 years.

It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines when replacing the sand filter media to ensure that the pump and filter are operating at their best. This may involve backwashing the filter to remove any debris or dirt before replacing the sand, as well as checking the pump's O-ring, gasket, and other components to ensure they are functioning properly.
