    Default media level in a sand filter tank

    Hey all. First off I hope all is well with Ben and I am happy to see some of the older members still around.

    My question pertains to the actual level of media in the tank of a sand filter. I have a Pentair Sand Dollar (SD-60) filter system which consists of a 22"/200lb tank and this will be the third season it is setup.

    I use zeolite (ZeoSand) as my filter media which called for 1/2 the weight of sand so I filled the tank with 100lbs of ZeoSand. I removed my multi-port valve to check everything out today and the tank is not even half way full.

    Should the media fill at least half of the tank? I am thinking about adding another 25lb bag, would that be a problem?

    Thanks in advance for any info.
