How much sand is needed for above ground filter for 27 ft round pool?

Answer 1

Never put sand on the bottom of a pool....if you are curious, do a little web search for Sharon Stone and her experience in wanting sand in her pool to feel like the sands of a place she visited....needless to say, the pool's filter immediately stopped working, all water had to be removed, new pool filter installed, and water refilled.

Answer 2

For above ground pools you usually need at least 2" of double or triple screened sand. It is very important to have at least a 6" cove. The cove is where the wall and floor meet. The angle of sand is to prevent the liner from squeaking out from under the metal wall of the pool. If that where to happen the pool will eventually collapse

Answer 3

You will need approximately 4 1/2 yards of mason sand for under the liner of a 28 ft. round pool...note that the sand is for under the liner only and not to level the pool. Pool site should be brought down to the lowest point of the site and if this is not possible, a bed of stone dust (3-6 inches thick should be used.)

Answer 4

Forget the bags and have about 3 yards delivered.

Answer 5

That all depends on the size of the filter. It should say how many pounds of sand you need on the side of your sand filter.

Answer 6

About two bags per square foot.

Answer 7

4 yds

Answer 8
