How much sand for this pump?

I would say get 100 pounds and add as needed ( add 30 lbs and water it down then top it off ). The flow tube in the middle will have a scale to show where the sand needs to be.

The instructions I have is for 100 lbs. There is a min and max line inside the filter. I used zeolite sand in mine and it claims 50lbs of that equals 100 lbs of regular sand. I'm considering switching to regular sand. Just haven't decided wich brand yet. Hope this helps. Any other questions please feel free to ask.

Sorry Zoom, I don't know the answers, I seem to remember having similar questions and looking on the web site for tech specs. We do like the pump, it works perfectly for us.

This pump requires salt. The amount of salt used corresponds to your pool size. Sand would be used with a sand filter pump.

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.

250 lbs. use a funnel with large opening at base and top, shake base often to shift sand.

It takes about 40 lbs of sand and the amount of salt depends on the size pool you have. Mine took 160 lbs initially. The manual explains specifically for all size pools. This is an awesome upgrade from the origional pump that came with the pool. The saltwater system is very nice, no more chlorine!

I do not have the pump with me but it was bought for a low pressure application -- guessing 6- 8lbs for carburetor application.

Sand Filter takes about 80 to 90 lbs of sand. Buy two 50 lb bags and have some left over. About $13 a bag.

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

I used a full 40lb bag of sand to fill the filter to the line in the tank, make sure you use the correct sand also bought at a pool supply, same with the salt, I used over 200 lbs for my 24' X 52" pool, the pump will tell you if the salt is strong enough, my sand filter came with a chart showing the amount needed for all of intex's pools..

There is always going to be some water left in the pit roughly 4" inches. That is so the pump doesn't run itself dry. If you want to get the water level lower try adjusting the float position.

Cathy, perhaps you read the description incorrectly. 25lbs of ZeoSand is the equivalent of 50lbs of regular sand. You only need half as much. Also, when you put it in, before you turn it on filter, be SURE to backflush until the water is CRYSTAL clear.

It calls for 50lb., I found that after FOLLOWING the direction that it held some less than 50lb. Most bags you will buy from the pool supply's are 50lb. BE SURE to follow the directions of the pump manufacturer to properly prep the sand before use!!!

We have ours hooked up to a sand pump. You can't use the pump that came with it however, we had to purchase another pump...worth it though to keep the pool much cleaner.

A small submersible mag drive pump about 175-250 gph should be fine. thanks! Steve

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.
