I'm not sure what you mean by a 77lb pump Brant, but if your sand filter holds 100lbs of regular sand , you will only need 50lbs of zeosand. If it holds 150lbs of regular sand you will need 75lbs of zeosand, and so on. The bottom line is whatever amount of regular sand your filter takes, you'll only need half of that amount of zeosand. It's more expensive but in my opinion it's well worth it. Just be sure to follow the directions for the zeosand. That is ....backwash it several times before you put it on filter. Hope this helps...................FG

I was able to ajust this one to my pump that runs at or around 28 lbs. The ones that Home Depot had did not work because they are for a higher minimum pressure than my pump. Note: it takes awhile to adjust even with the instructions under the plastic cap.

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.

a little over 5 will be enough. The level shold always be checked with the ram of the cylynder retracted fully and the pump not running. the tank willhold much more but the site window will show full and the machine will operate properly with between 6 and 7 gal. of hydrolic fluid.

i would start with about 6 bags i think mine has too much salt . my pool has a 7800 gallon capacity. i spread the salt around and then used my pool brush to help the salt dissolve. started my pump and have had no problems..

too high, you need one for a chevy vega 70 - 72 or 3 they run 3 PSI and you still may want to run a Tee at the carb with a .060 orfis in the 1/4" return line. they use to make a 3" square looking universal import pump 3 PSI .05 amp draw but i dont know the number.how about a beer keg gravity feed mounted like a tractor weight higher than the motor would be cool 1/2 psi is enought 3 psi is max on a good float and needle assemblywrascil@aol.com

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.

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

We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.

I used sand and water. I would think pea gravel would work. After all you just need it for weight.

100 pounds of sand. Usually three bags. Salt depends on size of pool. i.e. 8000 Gallon Pool needs 200 pounds of pool salt.

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

You get it at the pool supply or Walmart. I put it in when I hooked it up to the pool. Fill it, with sand, making sure you don't get any inside the tube that sticks up in the filter, fill it with the hose and connect everything to the pump as instructed, plug it in as soon as your skimmer is up to the proper level of water and it should prime itself and run perfectly, I think I put a 50lb bag in it. Maybe a little more, if you want. I don't replace the sand each year, there is no need if you've backwashed it for about a 15 or 20 minute length of time when closing it up in the fall.

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..

It depends on your injector size. I'm using 36# injectors and a Walbro 255lph pump. PSI should be 43lbs at idle.

Yes 40 pounds should be enough because; you should not put more than an inch of coral on the bottom as this can cause Nitrate problems. In fact i recommend 1/2inch to 3/4 inch of substrate. this is heavy enough not to get sucked up in your Vac.

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