    That's what i found to.
    I wasnt planning on buying sand went to wash the sand that i had and it is black and i washed some of it but it was stil grey and i dont want to use it in the dt will probably use it for a remote deep sand bed.[​IMG]

    I used a power washer to clean my sand out worked like a charm and it was black like that to start

    Not much i put it in a pretty tall toate stuck the powerwasher to the bottom and it basically causes the sand to almost turn to a liquid and washed it clean. Took 20mins including setting up the washer.

    I did the 5g bucket routine, 1g of sand then garden hose sprayer, full blast, fill up, let settle for a minute, pour off, repeat 5x. Takes a while but works well
