I just purchased a $10.00 bucket blaster from Woodworkers Warehouse. I
could not get it to work at first. It would not pull up the sand. I then
stuck the hose into water and it did a fine job of spraying the water
however it did not have much pressure. I then changed the valve inside to
the smaller orifice and this seemed to work better with the sand. However
if I ran it at 40 lbs or 80 lbs it did the same poor job.
Now for my question. I pulled sand out of our volleyball court and ran it
through a screen 5 times until it did not catch anything else. That is the
sand that I used. Is this sand grain to large for what I am trying to do.
I have seen postings in the past about you guys buying 50 lbs bags of sand.
Is this a very fine grain sand that is used and not sand box sand?
Did I mention that our home sits in a sub division that was built on the
former town sand pit. So if my sand works I have an endless FREE supply.
What should I set the pressure at to use this bucket blaster. It had NO
directions and I am just guessing on what to do.
Thanks,
