The cost for pumping water for sand handling, including all labor,
materials, and repairs, amounts to $0.06 per cu. yd. of sand ejected
and washed, and $0.03 per cu. yd. for replacing.
In addition to the water used for carrying the sand which is being
replaced, it is customary to keep a slight upward flow in the
filter, thus using about 500,000 gal. of filtered water per day for
this purpose. Assuming the value of this water to be the total cost
for pumping, filtering, etc., or $3.80 per 1,000,000 gal., the cost
per cubic yard of sand replaced would be about $0.02 when one
ejector is used, and $0.01 when two are in operation.
