So if I have a sand filter that takes 175# of sand what of your product do I need?
Reply
If you have a 175 Lb. sand filter then we would suggest 87.5 lbs. of Zeobest (175 / 2) Since the Zeobest is only sold in 25 lb. increments you would need to purchase 100 lbs. You may view the 25 Lb Zeobest here http://www.inyopools.com/Products/01300006001557.htm and the 50 Lb. Zeobest here http://www.inyopools.com/Products/01301202001558.htm

What is Zeobest? Is it safe?
Reply
Zeobest is a great alternative to regular filter sand. It provides DE like filtration (filters down to 3 microns), it's lighter than sand so you half the amount compared to sand. It can also decrease the frequency of backwashing. Without getting scientifically complex Zeobest comes from zeolites. Zeolites are the deposits of volcanic ash from thousands of years ago. It is NSF approved which means that it meets national health and safety requirements. It's also safe to use in all sand filters.

How much does a cubic foot weigh since my filter shows the cubic feet or sand required not the weight of sand. The amount listed is 2.4 ft3 of sand.

Hi, We will not be able to calculate cubic feet to pounds. Can you send us the manufacture and model of your unit, we can tell you how much Zeobest Sand you will need.

How much Zeobest do I need for a Muskin model FH40 Filter.

Hello Larry, depending on how much your sand filter hold you divide that by 2. So if it held 200lbs, you would get 100lbs of zeobest. I apologize, but the FH40 model didn't come up to where I could look at how many pounds came with your filter.

I have a Jacuzzi Lazer 250L. How much Zeosand do I need ?

I was not able to find specs for the 250L but you would use half the amount you would compared to regular sand. For example, if you have a 300 pound tank, you would use 150 pounds of Zeosand.

How much zeo sand for a pentair triton ii, tr140? (residential)
Is this sand particle size compatible with manufacture specs for this filter ?
"Sand to be No. 20 standard silica (uniformity coefficient not greater than 1.75) .018-.020 in diameter particle size."

Hi Doug, your Triton II TR140 requires 925 pounds of traditional sand, so you will need 460 pounds of ZeoSand. ZeoSand was made for all sand filters, so it will work great for you.
