I wonder if the filter comes with sand or is it empty?

It is empty. Make sure you buy your sand from a pool supply store and not from a home improvement place. Learned that the hard way myself years ago.

It comes empty. The shipping price would be crazy. I just went to my local pool store and bought a couple of bags of sand. Easy.

when i got this sand i did the same thing the only difference is that i started with salt water if you have your filter in just change them and get your salt in it will clear up it just takes long you just need to be patient lol

Mine came w/a filter. I would expect based on use that I will then purchase them from now on. Very Quiet, BTW. Wishing You The Best!

It does. But there are no rocks, just those white round bits. You'll be happy with this filter, it's awesome.

No, sand does not come with it. The shipping would have been outrageous if they shipped sand. We didn't even use sand. We used this for a koi pond and we used a bio media called 1 Filter Media.

This was for my husband but I dont think it uses filters. The sand is the filter. You "back wash" it once in a while and sand is clean. Never change it.

Yes, it does filter the dirt and sand, but the other one is better FLOW-PRO 1M-4PK 1-Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge, 4-Pack will filter well best.

No. It does not come with filter. I clean mine out, let them thoroughly dry and reuse them. No problems.

Yes. I haven't used it at the beach, but sand should filter right out of the bag.

It came with 1 filter, then you have to buy a new one when its time to replace it. However be sure you can still get this filter, the last order I placed they told me the company has gone out of business.

Need to first know if it is Sand DE or paper cartridge. The filter should have a model number on it. Be careful Many filters have external valves with there own model number. You need the number off the body of the filter. Then just type brand and model # in and you will find plenty of suppliers.

It takes 350lbs of filter sand. It's a very uniform sized sand made for the filter. I bought my sand at a pool supply wear house, however, they do sell it at walmart.

It comes with a sponge type filter... Not the best. You may want to purchase am extra for a few bucks.

Its takes about 50 pounds of sand. We brought 2 40# bags from our local pool store and it cost us about $30.00 and we didn't use it all. Hope this helped this is a great filter.

No its just one filter and i recommend that you buy a spare or a scratch lubricant along with it because its very easy for the filter to get scratched and by time it should be replaced, do note that this filter should only be used under 10 meters since above this depth the colors will tend to go reddish
