* Freeboard is the open space between the top of the sand bed and the tank backwash outlet.
NOTICE: 1 cubic foot (28 320 cm
3
) of sand weighs approximately 100 lbs. (45,4kg). DO NOT use
a finer grade of sand than recommended.
RECOMMENDED SAND GRADES:
Use only: #20 Silica Sand, Size Range .40-.55mm., Uniformity Coefficient less
than 1.75.
NOTICE: Use of other sands will reduce filter performance, may damage
pump,and will void warranty.

1. Wedron Silica/Best Sand Co., Sand Grade: Wedron .45-.55mm., Effective
Size .46mm, Uniformity Coefficient 1.22.
2. U.S. Silica - Silurian Filter Sand, Sand Grade.45-.55 mm., Effective Size
.48mm, Uniformity Coefficient 1.18.
Hazardous pressure.
Can cause severe
injury or major
property damage
from tank blow up.
Release all pressure
and read instructions
