How much San to fill sand table side
2088644
It depends how much you want in it. If memory serves me correctly (been a couple years) it can nicely hold 2 1/2 bags or so bought from Menard's (I think 20lb bags?). I add a bag to it every year. Kids playing empties it some.

One bag play sand from Home Depot....but it had so many pebbles in it. We filtered out largest ones. Maybe someone else has better play sand. Do NOT use paver sand as this will harden when wet and of course it will with water so close. Sand from a garden center maybe? But... One bag was sufficient even after pebble removal. Enjoy your table!!

One 50lb bag of All-purpose play sand a your local home shop should cover it!

We put one bag (from Lowes) in the sand table and no water. The grands have fun with it on both sides. It is on our patio and with more sand, it would be harder to move. One bag is enough for them. They do like to put the sand down the hole where the umbrella goes so you might want to put something to catch the sand.

I used 2 bags of sand I believe were about 50lb bags. But 1 bag would be fine.

Sand use 50 LBS as far as salt it depends on the gallon size of your pool...it needs to be at 3000 ppm.Hope that helps

Yes, that is correct so you only need 1/2 the amount of what you would if using normal sand.

Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60. I purchased a TR-60 that requires (according to Pentair specs), 50 lbs of pea gravel, and 275 lbs of .020 mic of sand. When installing my unit, I called the company, (tech. services). and they said that most people just install the sand and forget about the gravel, that I also did with my old Triton. The total used was 300 lbs., and the distance from the top of the sand and the inside top of the filter should be 10 1/2 inches, that turns out to be a perfect gauge of the height of the 300 lbs of sand. Each Triton model uses a different amount of sand/gravel. Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60.

Volume: .40 cu./ft. Manual says you can add sand to make more volume. Visit their website for more details http://www.roklinsystems.com/

The sand is not provided. You can either add sand OR water. I added water to mine, and it works great.

We used around 12 bags of sand from Lowes. We could have used a few more. Richard

The amount you need depends on the dimensions of your tank, as well as your desired depth. Not all 20 gallon tanks have the same dimensions. Once you establish that, there are calculators online that will tell you how much sand you need. Go here: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_educationcenter_calculators_sand_bed_calculator.html and as far as if you can use this for freshwater, I'm not sure. This is labeled for marine (saltwater) tanks and as such, the bacteria in it would die off if you placed in a freshwater tank. This would cause a spike in ammonia, nitrites, then nitrates. I'd search for something labeled for freshwater use. The amount you need depends on the dimensions of your tank, as well as your desired depth. Not all 20 gallon tanks have the same dimensions.

No about half way to 3/4 full . Most the particles collect in the top layer of sand as water is pushed through so you want the most surface area

Not sure, bought this online. Was looking for good size and this looked bigger. Pretty happy with it. Suggest you look at how much sand each holds by volume or weight.

A lot. We used a funnel to get it in. Mine is only half full and my 8 yr can't move it too much. I filled the large size Tupperware 3.4 full at the beach. Probably can hold a whole large Tupperware of sand. Can use water but hard to empty. I worry about a leak in my apartment. I am a 45 yr old adult and use it as well.

Unfortunately it isn't. It will fill about an inch maybe 1 1/2" in the bottom of an inside sand table that is about 16 x 20". It is great sand, feels really nice and isn't dusty, and will buy it again for that purpose. Unfortunately, it would take many boxes for an outside sand box. I would recommend play sand from a home improvement store for that purpose. Much cheaper $5/bag and in 50lb bags.

I bought a 50b bag of sand and that was enough to fill just under 3 bags. So, my estimate is about 20lbs each.

You need to fill it. I used rice, but you can use sand, beans, rocks, steel shot or whatever you wish
