I buy the 8lb bag & use half for one litter & it lasts a good 2 1/2 - 3 weeks before I have to change again. Hope that helps!

I buy the 8# bags and it doesn't take a whole bag to fill but does take more than half

I actually use another brand of litter but I think it has to be crystals. I know that a clumping brand would not work. Hope that helps.

The box of either 24 or 30 oz. at walmart for $2.50 is great price, I stopped using it because it just got too expensive for 4 litter boxes. I will go check walmart myself, Tagert too expensive too.

Each pot comes with its own 1-time use, 13oz filler bag of crystals. Refill Crystals can be purchased on-line, or at the hardware store, in a 60oz jug.

I've only used Fresh Step crystals and Mimi Crystal litter which both sell at Walmart. The Mimi litter is half the price of Fresh Step and works well.

I don't know about crystal cat litter. However, I can tell you, from our experience that this litter box was a total waste of money & aggravation. In less than a week, the sifter began to stick and, not long after, got stuck open. Cats wouldn't use it. We tossed in the trash and went back to plain old covered cat litter boxes. I have nothing good to say about the Catit SmartSift.

I am satisfied with Nature's Miracle crystals.I have only one petite kitty now and she doesn't load the box fast. It is a tad more time consuming to figure out the .4 lbs but well worth the money you save-more than 50% compared to just the crystals.

I go through 20 lbs a month for 1 cat. I follow the instructions and fill it 3-4 inches deep and when it is halfway down, I add more. If it hits the bottom of the litter pan, it sticks and is very difficult to clean. I really like this litter, though. Best one for my cat. Hope this helps!

I use the non-clumping crystal litter and it works great in this box! Understand that the crystal litter needs time to absorb the liquid and it needs to be stirred. This box is perfect for crystal litter! I was so amazed. I used to hate the crystal type because all of the manufacturers tell you to stir the crystals daily to mix the wet and dry ones evenly. This box does it does this for me with no problems. The solids get sifted from the crystals and the crystals get stirred at the same time.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

Our litter box is approx. 13"x18" and one 18 lb. bag is not enough to fill the box so that the urine does not go right through to the bottom. The one bag put 2 inches of litter in the box. I think 3 inches is better (for scooping ease), so I use one and a half of the 18 lb. bags when I'm doing a complete litter change. Every few days, I add more of the litter. My cat requires that I scoop his box at least four times a day, so I do go through the litter fairly quickly.

Tidy Cat pellets do not have to be in deep layers as do other litters. We start out a new litter box with approximately 1-1/2 bags of litter into the box. As the used pellets are removed, we sprinkle a similar amount of new littter into the box. Once a week we renew all the litter. Out 16 fur-balls seem to be very happy with this arraingement.

i dont really know what the exact measurement amount is, but for my single cat if the feeder is completely full, i dont have to refill it for close to a month and a half. Her amount time limit per day is 45mins and she usually doesnt even use that much time.

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

I think I buy the 40 lb. bag and have plenty left over. I have the jumbo disposable boxes. I have one cat. I fill the jumbo box 80% to the top and over time it decreases b/c of use. This litter is so absorbent, that I can just add more litter to return it to 80% once it gets too low. No odors, no urine gets to the bottom b/c the litter absorbs it so well and quickly. Best litter I ever bought.

Since ScoopFree has been hard to come by I've just started testing different brands... Ultra Pet Litter Pearls (perfect little pearl shapes) works so far ($22.97 per 7 lbs) but it's only been 3 days - I hoping it will last 10 days like the ScoopFree Just Crystals did for my two cats. The key is crystal size... not to small and not too large. I did try Dr. Elseys Senior Crystals (very small sandlike) didn't wok as nicely as ScoopFree but it works for another application for my older cat just fine. I just bought Fresh Step at Target ($14.49/8 lbs) and it should work as it's small enough crystals but I'll have to get back to you on that.

I haven't done that, but my friend who suggested that I buy ScoopFree does. She got the forever tray and refills it with the blue crystal litter. She says its just as good. I have not tried this because I have yet to get the forever tray.
