Are you getting water from the tell tale ?

If not, pull the bottom of the leg off. Clean out sand from the impeller housing. Replace. See if water now comes from the tell tale. If not, try connecting s hose to the tell tale hose and back wash. Continue until the sand stops coming out. Further, you can remove the thermostat to see if the water is flowing.

Are you still getting sand out from the water ?

If you decide to drop the leg off, make sure you have it in gear.

If you're sure it has a belly full of sand, then drop off the leg as said and check the impeller.

It will make it easier to line things up when you put it back together.
