Thank you. I thought I read you use 20% less of this then sand. Our pool is 23,000 gallons, so I thought we would need 5 bags.

It is a same ratio as sand, 1:1 Therefore you will need 6 bags total weight 300lbs. You will not be disappointed. The weight capacity should be marked on your filter. I have a 16 by 32 feet pool and the 200lbs capacity filter works just fine. I do cover the pool in the high pollen season. Unless you have a pool larger than 16 by 32, you might be ok with 200 lbs. You can experiment. You can always add more later. My pool company sells this for $80 a bag but they do put it in. When doing it yourself I had to take a cup to empty out the sand because the filter was too heavy to move. My teenage son helped. Good luck.

I bought a bag of 300 and it wasn't near enough, that barely covers the pit with 1 layer. We switched to giant foam blocks, it is easier and softer.

You will need 325lbs to 350 lbs depending on whether you put some gravel in the bottom or not.

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 used 4 bags of 0.5 cu ft each of sand. Each bag weighed in at 48 pounds so that is nearly 200 pounds of sand. Nearly equal to 25 gallons of water..which weighs nearly 8 pounds per gallon. The guy that is using a 50 pound weight is really not securing his very well. One bag of sand and I could still tip mine over pretty easily. that was 48 pounds.

No, I wouldn't go without sand/water because it's top heavy. We put 350 lbs of sand in ours and one night with heavy winds, it still toppled over (40miles winds). Then we added 50 more lbs, and it hasn't toppled over yet.

Regular sand filter sand. Can be purchased on Amazon. Takes little over 50lbs. I bought 2 50lbs bags from Amazon.

I used water in mind, because it was for a 6 year old, but if you want more stability use sand. The diameter of the base is about 24 inches (2 feet), the depth is about 14 inches, I used the below site to calculate the number of lbs needed to completely fill the base, you'll need between 250 to 270 lbs of sand. http://www.kidsafesand.com/Sand%20Calculator.html?diameter (use the Round Sand Boxes calculator on the right).

I don't remember seeing how much it can hold either, but I have 22 pounds of sand in it and feel that it can handle a little bit more. The sand shifts around a bit and I'd like it to be a bit more still. Does that make sense?

That is correct, you'll need two sets. Fortunately, they're inexpensive and the sand to fill them from a home improvement store is too!

Pour "A" side material into the sand, mix with egg beater mix well then add "B" side material and mix well for no less then 2 min. If the repair is a hole then place enouhg material to reach the surface when ready to let set then cover with topping sand in plastic bag. The "B" side bottle needs to be agitaded before you pour into the sand.

For Zeosand you are suppose to use half as much pounds as you would for regular sand. So for 50lb sand replacement you need a 25lb bag of Zeosand.

Depends on how much sand you put in the base. If the base is mostly empty than it should not be a problem, otherwise you will need to meter how much gel you put in the base.

Hello yes please search for living sand or kinetic sand and you can buy it by approximately 2 or 10 lb bulk.Thank you

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.

You could fill them with anything you want I'm sure. I didn't weigh them full of sand but I would estimate 40lbs each.

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