EXAMPLE of CALCIFIED SAND in sand filter:
In this photo, sand has calcified and has formed into the shape of large river rocks.  Filtration was almost non-existant due to the non-porus condition of the sand which developed.  Manufacturers of sand filters recommend having the sand changed every 3 years to avoid this problem.
