How much sand is needed to fill the base?

We filled ours with water and did the same at the gym I managed. Never had a problem.

Honestly, we bought it last year for my daughter for Xmas and it's been in storage due to a remodel of home. I apologize.

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).

It's hard to get an accurate measurement of the base with sand in it, but I think the widest point at the bottom is 46.5 inches wide. I think it'll fit under your play structure.

I don't know off hand but the previous person's answer is about accurate, "The base is .59 dia".

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 manual says to add 365 pounds of sand. I used seven 50 pound bags (350 pounds total), which barely fit (had to keep shaking the base to get the sand to settle), and I can hang on the rim and it won't tip.

The sacks do not come filled. You have to buy the sand seperately and fill them. Enjoy!

Volume: .40 cu./ft. Manual says you can add sand to make more volume. Visit their website for more details http://www.roklinsystems.com/

The base fills with bricks, sand or a combination of both.Instructions illustrated and very clear. I used washed playsand and it seems fine.

Depends on what you fill it with. If you fill it with sand only then you'll probably be good. If you fill the base with both sand and water you have a potential mess on your hands if the base gets cracked somehow

No, fill to about 3/4. In between the top two rings (those little indentations) is where we filled to. We're on our second year with new sand and a bigger pool - still a great little pump! Don't forget to indicate 'what goes where' with tape and writing when you take it down to store for the winter - this makes assembly super easy next time around!!

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

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

It depends on location. If indoors I recommend water but be sure the seams of the base are totally sealed. Do not let anyone step on the base full or not. It will bust. If outdoors I prefer sand because of the heat. I have four if these 2in 2 out filled as I said. No problems at all. The water if used outside will evaporate and wind can blow the system over causing lots if damage.

You need to buy the salt, about 150 pounds, and the sand as well. The system works great!!

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

Yes. Comes with instructions on how to fill with sand and bricks if desired.

10 50lb bags of play sand was enough to fill it 3/4 of the way. The directions say it can hold 17 bags and I'm assuming that amount would fill it very close to the top.
