How much sand does this filter require?

easy to find... believe it was a 25lb bag... just call any pool or hut tub store nearby. 15 bux If I remember correctly.

the product manual says one 25kg bag, which is about 55lbs. here in the states bags are 50lbs. we used one bag and it has been working great. it got just above the min mark on the neck. one bag was $10.

A 50lbs is just the right amount. Make sure to use pool sand, available at most hardware stores or pool supplies, usually less than $10.

Minimum of 50 pounds, but 55 or 60 is probably better. 50lb gets you just to the very bottom of the minimum ring, maybe not even quite that. I used 50 and it seems to run fine, but I wonder if a bit more would be even better

sand filter pump is not necessary, I used the pump that came with the pool and bought the salt water system separately.

Nope, its all in one. Will need to buy sand and salt. Roughly 60lbs of sand for the filter portion.

Yes. Now, I did buy a bigger, better sand filter for my pool from pool store...you do NOT need to. We chose to do this because we have a very high iron level in our water and felt like we needed something bigger. We enjoyed our pool so much! Last memorial day we had 6 teenagers and 4 adults in pool and had plenty of room!!! Best buy for outdoor fun ever!

use this with a sediment filter first. it can be damaged by large particles

Go to your local pool supply and purchase 150 lbs of sand. It's 3 50 lb bags. There a couple of different grades of sand. Make sure you tell them the make and model # of your filter and they will supply you with the appropriate sand. Hope this answers your question.

A 50 pound bag of zeosand is equal to 100 pounds of regular pool filter sand. I found out that this stuff works great for me. Just be sure to follow the directions, which are simple. Just be sure to completely backwash the zeosand several times before you run the the filter. If you don't you will blow a good amount of zeosand into your pool and it will make a mess. Good luck!!

This requires a multifaceted answer. First of all, how large is the sediment your well draws in? These filters are available in several different screen or mesh filter sizes. If it is sandy, you need to compare the size of the sand to the micron size of the filter element. I'd say this is the most important research that you need to do. Next I'd ask how much sand gets drawn in say daily, then over the course of a week. Thus could be determined by how much sand is in your toilet tanks, (when you take the lid off and look inside); then how often do you clean the screens on the washer? Lastly, do you see sand in the faucet arreaters? If the answer is a great deal to any of the above questions, I would advise you to get a filter which is one pipe size larger then then waterline coming from your pressure pump/ inlet to your house. This will allow a longer time between flushing intervals of the filter. I have used them in this application in the past, with great results for our customers. If it is installed correctly, the drain on the bottom would be run to the outside,or a nearby drain. Be sure to install a union on the drain line to allow for occasional disassembly. When the filter shows signs of being clogged- sediment in the bottom, color in the screen; then you flush it out for 1-2 minutes, until clear. I hope this helps you. I am a plumber in northern Arizona, and would recommend this item.

The filter will take about 100 - 120 pounds of sand. The salt will depend on the size of your pool. The instructions with the unit will tell you exactly what is needed. Very easy system to set up. If you have a small pool you will need the Intex 1-1/2" to 1-1/4"hose adapters.

If you will put the thicker sock like filter inside the mesh filter the sand will not penetrate . I do that and it will pick up the smallest of debris , this is my second year using the blaster, I really like it for small pools . Hope this helps . Happy blasting

At minimum, you need 70. If not the tube is gonna have a hard time siphoning the sand.

extremely fine sand - not powdery - and if you are going to use it on a sand filter - put in pea gravel first - otherwise it will have a tendency to clog the manifold.

I believe it's 300. I change the filter every 2 mons. It works great. I fill it once, sometimes twice a day.

I looked up you're pool . I'm pretty sure that pool has 1.25 hose and every sand filter I looked at had 1.5 intake and return so without looking at you're pool my answer would be most likely yes

I use the sand filter and since it has been very windy this spring with lots of material flying around I run it twice a day 4 hours each time.
