I think it was one minute, but I usually let the littler kids have more time.

40 seconds. I just timed it using the stopwatch on my iPhone's clock app. I got 39.91 seconds. I would say that 30-60 seconds is about right. Anything under 30 seconds will be frustrating as some younger kids may not be able to find anything and anything over a minute makes it less exciting, especially for items you've found before.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

I purchased one for my Sand Rail. I had the opportunity to use it this weekend and it worked Great!!!

I can't give you an exact answer because I never timed it. I would say between fifteen and twenty minutes or so. Plus you can shake it up and get a few more minutes out of it. I love mine.

There is supposed to be a hole in the pole that you stick the pin into to give you torque when screwing the pole into sand. The picture of the item shows the pin through the hole. Ours has a hole directly under the plastic bracket about 5' up from the bottom

Don't bother my mast is already broken... I think it lasted about 3months tops! ;-(

Gosh I honestly don't know as I haven't had that happen. You may want to contact the company & see what they suggest. You can purchase new living sand (a bit pricey) from amazon or other stores that carry learning products.

Hi Linda, I have put my experience with the Woods Timers behind me. I had purchased two of them way back when, and they both failed and I've forgotten all I knew about them. Sorry I can't help you.

All I used was play sand from home depot. While I was there I bought a roll of screen you would use to repair a screen on your window and filtered the sand through that so that all of the larger sand would not jam in the nozzle. I works like a charm

I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill.I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

Hi TL :-)The pool comes with a liner so really sand isn't required but if you want to make it a little more stable you can use sand. That's about all prep you need to do as far as I know (I haven't put one together myself) It's listed as 20-40 minutes to assemble so probably double that I'd say, Hope this helps!!! If theres any other questions please let me know Cheers Dale Fraser

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

I am working on getting mine replaced. I will pursue it tomorrow. I bought it in August, and its Late November now... not even 12 weeks in and it's dead as a door nail. I will pursue a replacement, i'll keep us all updated with my attempt.

Hopefully there is no sand in your filter, that would mean it broke! There should be a screw to anchor it down with on the outside of your filter.

The only timer that really worked was an old Melnor and I still have two in operation after about 5 years. In fact, one is so old the face sticker has worn off so I can't reprogram it. It is the old 3015 round Aqua Timer. They don't make them any more and it's really a shame. I wish something could be done. I've tried everything else and nothing does it for any reasonable amount of time.

My instruction folder says, "touching the timer button will activate the timer for 60 minutes". I wonder why you didn't receive an information flyer. Try: www.marpac.com/info/support
