  • 21" Sand Filter: Approximately 60 kilograms (approx 132lbs) of sand.
  • 25" Sand Filter: Around 100 kilograms (approx 220lbs) of sand. (Water TechniX Aspire 25 inch)
  • 28" Sand Filter: Approximately 160 kilograms (approx 352lbs) of sand. (Water TechniX Aspire 28 inch)
  • 32" Sand Filter: Requires 280 kilograms (approx 560lbs) of sand.
