The plan was to flush the holes with pool filter sand and water until topped up with sand. I may go the extra and pipe in a half inch wetting system to the top of each hole to be able to keep the sand wet as that will conduct much better, so I read anyway. Wish I had more time to test and measure effectiveness, but winter is on the way with plenty more drilling to do and all this pipe still need buried.
I have seen that a lot have seen one take 500 gallons out of our tank . Makes a pain to dig. Yea I heard the same thing about sand better. You prob could fill it to the water level with coarse sand . Then drop grout to it from there to top. Time and money is an enemy no one can beat.
