    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
