I filter with to pre filters and then one thick finishing filter.
It worked the first time for the sand but this last time it got through some how?? I clean it every use not sure what going on.

Do you run hot water through it first? I run hot sap through the filters to open the pores

Did you try to speed up the filtering by pushing down on the syrup with the back of a spoon when it was in the filter? That can force some sand through.

I didnt push down I let it sit over night while it drained the remainder, Got any hints on the best way to clean a wool filter
